found this in the woods behind my grandmothers house... in maine! it was 5 inches down, when i pulled it out of the ground i assumed it was from world war two, but after sending a photo of it to my dad he told me it was a civil war buckle. ive never heard of any civil war activity up here, my grandmother told me the house was also used as a stagecoach stop at one time, other than that i have no idea how or why that buckle would be there.
