1790's property and the famous saying " and on the way back to the truck " !!!

Hi everybody , I got back out to the 1790 property and decided to scout today as there is over 150 acres and this place is a early plantation home , so decided to give the xlt some time today "didnt do so well in the soil" but headed into the woods over a couple of ridges and upon reaching the top I discovered bricks and stones and steel and nails . I score a nice little buckle there and on the way back to the house scored a super old flat button and when I got to the main yard I decide to switch up detectors and broke out the AT PRO and started scanning near the parking area of the house , found a few items I need a ID on but" as I was heading to the truck" hit a nice high tone mixed with a irony grunt so open the hole up discovered a nail and thought to myself aint no way a single small nail can sound that good so I probed some more with the pinpointer and just below 8 inches and that nail out came my first LC for 2016 finally a good coin from this place 1851 ! I had filmed my adventure with my new midland hd camera but forgot to take it out of the water proof case so I didnt figure anyone would be into a silent film ,but im back out there this weekend .... so stay tuned for another video ...

The buckle dates 1575-1700


MYSTERY ITEMS The first item to me resembles a shell casing ,but nothing ive ever seen , and the second item has hooks on the back ....thanks for looking ! And Thanks to GW for the ID and dates on the other buckles and rosette !

The good ole "OTWBTTC" strikes again! LOL

Nice saves!
 

Historic site amazing Im jelous
 

very nice finds
 

and the second item has hooks on the back

A couple months I found a pretty similar item, though not as ornate at yours at a colonial site. I posted it here, and I think it was Bill in Virgina said he thought mine was an ornate piece from a saddle...
 

Great detail on that LC! Congrats
 

Im thinking part of a really old signal cannon ....
 

Here's pics of the one I found:
