1800's British silver, IH, some relics

Haven't posted in quite while. Until this weekend I had been out 4 or 5 times and had only managed one lone wheatie to show for it! Finally got my first silver coin yesterday, but not one I would have ever expected. It was covered in dirt and I didn't rub it, but a bit of that shield showing through on the back had me convinced I had my second Spanish silver! It turned out to be an 1890 British Queen Victoria Shilling. Got an Indian Head right after that, so hopefully my 2015 coin slump is over. That buckle was in two pieces unfortunately.

the round knob with the small hole in the bottom is from a National cash register from the late 20s to late 50s.

Interesting theory. I've been told it is a horse hame....looking at the picture of similar ones I'm pretty sure that is right but who knows.
