Another SC seal button & a bunch of 
??
Not too great of a day today, but I found another SC seal button, though not in great shape. I was short on time today (I slept in), so I hit the 1830 CW house that I was hunting earlier in the year, because it is closer to home. As soon as I got there it started to rain, and continued during my whole hunt.
Cold & windy too. 
I think you guys up in Ohio sent this weather down here. 
I could use some help on IDing a few things, so if you want to take a stab at it, I would greatly appreciate it.
My finds:
*South Carolina state seal button (23mm) - Albert's book #SC 13.
Back mark- "Schuyler. H & G - New York"
(Nick- I was hoping this was an eagle button when I dug it. )
*21mm flat button with "Gilt" back mark.
*Scabbard tip? Maybe? I have no idea.
*Lobster claw looking copper piece.
Any ideas?
*A heavy lead alloy piece with iron loop attached. Looks like a plumb bob?
Any idea?
*Copper hollow bead (?) with a cross design & solder mark on one end.
Any idea?
*"M. W. & Co." padlock keyhole cover
* A small square coin weight (circa 1600-1850's) representing 4 pennyweight by the 4 dots on it. It has a tiny animal (horse?) design on it.
I've found these before at old properties, but never with a design on them.
Here's an informative link:

*Asst'd: pocketknife, razor handle, spoon handle w/flower design, lead pieces.
Thanks for looking & any help,
MM
