🥇 BANNER Military buckle?

[birdman]

Hi all, just returned from a hunt and I might have found a nice piece of history,not sure. I dug all this stuff at a 1700s home but I did not find any buttons or coppers of the era like I was expecting.
I did get a couple silver quarters 1940 and 1956 but I was wanting something a bit older.
After a couple of so so hours of hunting
I got a good hit about 5 feet from the side of the house and about six inches deep I spied what looked like a nice old military belt plate!

If any one has information on this buckle please let me know what is. Found while on vacation at Cape Cod Mass, not in Florida.

*SOLVED * war of 1812 era buckle issued by Maine
(big thanks to niffler,PBR and texjim for the id)

It took awhile to sink in, but I've now added my late BANNER vote. First I remember seeing on Tnet & we get loads of CW stuff up there but hardly any 1812 era.

What an amazing find! Man, I'd be researching like crazy trying to find out who might have lived there back in the day. Can you imagine? Who, why and when? No doubt I'm posting my banner vote.
WTG Bird!! I hope you bring it to the FL hunt this fall!!! Many congrats to you!!

Incredible! I have been meaning to comment on this post for days now. I'm glad to see this buckle up top where we can find it and enjoy it for years to come. We find a lot of Civil War plates around here, but don't see to many 1812 era plates. That is one special piece of brass in remarkable condition. Huge congratulations

Killer find manYou should update the original post because it took me a while to search the thread to find out why it was up there....

Congrats
