1796 Large Cent and a Buckle

[smokedaddy]

Hi all, been a while since I posted anything here. With work and family time it does get hard to get out. Anyway, on Saturday I went with my two hunting pals "Walk the Dog" and "Edot". While searching an open field I recovered my oldest US Coin. A 1796 Capped Cent. It was actually my first time out with my new detector. While the coin is in poor shape, It made for a nice day. I also dug this old Buckle. I think it might be colonial. If anyone knows more about it, please chime in. Thanks and HH

Can you see were a centre pin might have been, running the width or length?

If it's a decorated shoe buckle, that type dates to 1730-1760.
