Found this one half of a two piece buckle today on grounds that I know were inhabited in the early 1800's. Been researching for hours and cannot find anything like it. Can anyone help ID this and date it? Thank you

Could you tell us the size? It may help determine the way it would have been used.
 
WOW! that's a great find....
I don't know what they are officially called, but I'm thinking half of a Snake buckle similar to this.

I believe that is very close to what it is, just cannot find out what period this one belonged to. Some claimed the one you showed was part of a buckle for a sword.
 
The eagle looks about civil war era, but I am not an expert. It makes sense given the 1800s date of the property.
 
It's a big book hard to get it in position to get a great pic but try this.
