Buckle part? Broach? Found outside 1730 colonial home in New York State! Any ideas would be great! Thanks! GD

It's a 19th century civilian horse bridle rosette. Very similar, if not identical, examples are illustrated in Stanley S. Phillips' Excavated Artifacts from Battlefields and Campsites of the Civil War, 1861-1865, and Howard R. Crouch's Civil War Artifacts - A Guide for the Historian.

True...
However, since bridle bosses/rosettes have been around for centuries, and since "early" is not a word typically used by British detectorists such as yourself to describe c. 1840's-60's items, I thought it might be helpful to GoingDown to know that the same sort of item had been found at U.S. Civil War sites.
