1838 SEATED SILVER DIME & THOUGHT I HAD A GOLD COIN FOR A SECOND

headed out to a cellar hole me and foundation hunter went to once awhile back.
decided to give it another shot and work it for all it's worth.

when i saw the glint of gold in the hole my heart almost stopped!
turns out it's an encased 1900 indian head penny in a real glass is covering the front and looks like real gold encasement with a staright broken shank
any ideas what it was used for?
also any ideas on the oval thinga-ma-jig with a bent shank
a pretty worn 1838 seated dime,a dandy or cloak button,a domed blue glass bridle rosette and a few other little keepers.not a bad hunt at all.
