Shield buckle?

[Tommy G]

I found this buckle on a 1756 home site. I've heard talk about shield buckles before, but this is my first, assuming that's what it is. Can anyone provide any info on these? When I first saw it, I thought it might have a military connection. The button and crusty Indian head were found on the same site.

Welcome to Tnet! you may want to have this posted in the "what is this" section. You'll probably get more responses that way. Good Luck!
