1869 Indian Head Cent and brass buckle

[Roger Mn.]

I went to Oronoco for 8 hrs today and the only coin I found was 1869 Indian Head Cent. I didn't know it until I got home.
I was there yesterday and there was a wedding party there and I've been wanting a mosquito net to go over my face well in the trash was part of a veil and I wore it all day today.
I found two pocket knives and haven't opened them yet to get a name and a diamond shaped brass buckle 2 7/16" x 1 3/4" at the points. Could be a bridle buckle.

Great photos and that IH is really nice.

That funny shaped thin, tappering copper thingy in upper left of the "stuff" picture; I found one just like it here in Texas. Any idea what it is?

I put it in hot peroxide twice and soap on a tooth brush. This coin didn't have a crust on it so I didn't need to use a tooth pic. The soil is sandy even though it looks black and might have something to do with how nice it looks.
It's not in the best condition but I thought it to be a cool find being 1869 key date Indian Head Cent and the only coin found.
There has been a lot of people detect this park and it is big and trashy.

The tapered piece is made of tin and I unfolded some of it and not sure but i thought tin ceiling. Not positive.

The piece I found was shaped identical and it was copper so some sort of roofing might be right.
