Nice finds. Here's a pic of what the 1812 coin looked like back in the day.

The Kansas tag is likely a hotel tag for room #4. A very cool find. I like the old coin too.
Be sure to have permission at abandoned sites.

The "tag" looks to be a watch fob to me. Looks like it could be a local Kansas candidate running for office fob. I found one that was a presidential fob that looked similar to yours.
