shoe or knee buckle?

[Electricbutter]

I believe it’s a small shoe buckle that seems to match illustrations #6 1700-1730? or #10 1730-1760? Any way to know for sure? Thanks

OOOHHH! Pretty! I'd guess shoe buckle, pre 1760.

Beautiful buckle find there EB.
Certainly looks like it could be a ladies or a child's buckle... BuckleBoy or Cru would know for certain.

I'll put in my vote for a small shoe buckle as well. Knee buckles had the holes on the other 2 sides of the buckle (the long way, if that makes sense).

I’m sure it only took 2 or 3 sticks of dynamite to get down to the defrosted soil, my driveway is softer than my backyard right now due to the arctic cold.
