Spur?

Is this a spur or something that would have gone on a boot?

What is a "Georgian Shoe Buckle bit"? Could you find an image of one? I googled it and nothing is coming up. Thank you for your help Crusader.

Crusaders got it. It's part of a shoe buckle. We dig lots of those in colonial sites around here. By the way Crusader that's a cool link you posted.

Wow, CRUSADER you are the man!!!!!!!
I wish it was the entire buckle, but its still cool. Thank you all
Do you guys usually find pieces such as this one or the entire buckle?
Thanks again all.

i don't usually find anything that good, let alone better

we find a lot of pieces (at least I do) in northern VA. We find whole ones from time to time too.

Cool. I'm in MA and its the first buckle piece I have found. Been detecting for about 6 months. Thanks for all your help.
