I found this with some War of 1812 buttons. Any ideas?

Seems to big for a garter hook. I found it in the water(ocean) during low tide with a bunch of war of 1812 buttons and relics.

Not sure what you have there, but I don't believe it is a garter hook - women's or men's. Unless there is a piece missing - is there? I do think its a buckle - but I think its a simple double-back buckle.

Nothing missing on the piece. There are no broken parts.
