1836 Large Cent!!!

[West Jersey Detecting]

I went back after work for about an hour to the place that I found the colonial copper last weekend, and found this 1836 Matron Head in a sandy area of the woods!!! It was only about 4 inches deep. It cleaned up really nicely after a hydrogen peroxide bath. The coin still has some great detail with only a little corrosion! It is only the second large cent I have found, and they are both 1836!!!!

I also found the shoe buckle (?), which still has a working hinge! Any help with time period would be appreciated and the 1916 Merc, with no mintmark! Darn!

Can anyone ID what Newcomb variety this is?

I found something that looks just like your "buckle" and determined that it most likely came from a pair of suspenders.
