Shoe Buckle?

[Shane724]

Hey all!
Went woods hunting today in a revolutionary war area here in New Jersey and pulled this buckle!
Would this be a shoe buckle or belt buckle?
Also wondering the date ranges these might have been used
Thanks for reading!

Nice find. It's a mid to late 18th century shoe buckle. Getting them intact is very hard.

Man that’s awesome! Thanks for the reply it was only 4 inches down and all these years sitting there!
