A Button & A Buckle

Got out on Sunday with Frank. Got these 2 items. Any idea how old the buckle is & what it was used for?

Nice finds!! No idea on the buckle, but it sure looks old to me.

That buckle is a beauty! :)

Roger, that buckle looks old. Looks close to #28 in Dan's buckle resource, which dates it at late 1600s, and has an "English context."

What do you think?

Thanks Drew! I have a hard time using that guide for some reason. IDK perhaps #8?
