1836 Large brass object

[dirtdigger1581]

Found this piece in a colonial field in Suffolk today. Not sure what it is, but it's large...about six inches long and 2 inches wide. It's stamped 1836 which is very cool! It's old, but not sure what it is. Any guesses

Happy Hunting!!!

Is it a buttplate?

That would make sense. Now looking at it I can definitely see that. Just takes someone elses eyes to help me see the light. Thanks!
