I did not finds this today but i found it last weekend and have had no time till now. I was detecting a house form 1789. I dug one flat button a toe tap and a iron buckle and then i was getting nothing. I dug a small piece of copper and less then a foot away I found my oldest coin ever. It was straight up and down. A 1876-S seated liberty dime I kind of hit it but I still love it.
Edit: does anyone know how old the toe tap may be?

Nice Find! and the toe tap is also mid-late 1800's would be my guess. I have several at late 1800's sites.
