Great job on the video Nick! Some nice finds you got there. I like the French coin best. Although the MVM plate is sweet too. Great first year.
 
thanks for posting another nice video. Sure is a great box of finds. Looking forward the pictures of the MVM plate.

I don't even know what it is, but It doesn't look old to me!

Nick it could be Civil War related ( possibly a belt buckle a union soldier would wear) i need to see a good clear phot of the back and front to confirm it .

hey Nick thanks for the pictures , how thick is the piece ?? just thinly stamped brass or is there a little beefy would it be easy to bend in half??

It's pretty thin! and small too.
 
Nick i think you have the front part to a square beltplate it was probably brazed ( similar to soldered) on . you could clean the back real well to see if the brazed marks are there , yours would look like this if it was all there in one piece .
