Saturday's finds - Buttons, Buckles and Silver

These were found Saturday on a club hunt. This site produced my first old U.S. money find, a 1829 capped bust half dime. Also found were buckles, buttons, a musket ball, an old knife, a 1947 roosie, iron plows and other iron pieces. All in all an excellent day of detecting. Any help in identifying these two buttons would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I was just glad that there were other people there to see me pull it out of the ground. This is my first really old us minted coin. I have found half reales from the 1700's and considered them my best finds but the half dime has topped those.
