This was found in Long Island, NY in the same vicinity that two large cents were found. I’ve been able to find that the symbol belongs to the Canadian Grenadier Guard. I don’t thinks it’s a button cover. It looks like a clip of some sort. Any help with exactly what and how old it is would be great. Thanks!

Looks like this belt buckle. I wasn’t able to get any info about the age so any additional
Info would be appreciated.

"Maybe" Canadian Grenadier 15th Foot Regiment "Cap Badge"?

I would like to believe that this had some part with "Oak Island"
