Buckle

This is a photo of a buckle my dad dug a few years ago. My dad died last July and my step-mother gave me this buckle. She could not remember where it was dug. Has anyone seen one exactly like it? Of all the photos I've looked at online, none are exactly like this one. Any help would be appreciated. Please excuse the poor photo quality.:?
 
I just seen one in the April issue of western and eastern treasures in the ask Mark Parker section.
What you have is a S-link snake buckle. Used by both military and civilian in the mid 1800's and were most british manufactured. The one you have should have another peice that was attached to the snake that looks just like the one on the loop side. The one in W@E treasure was worth $100 - $150 in tack. So I would think yours would be less. But nice find anyway.
