Dug these this morning at the foundation site of an early 19th century home. Lots of junk, lots of bullet casings etc. These two we can’t figure out. The bronze piece has two holes for iron pins or screws that are now corroded to it. Any chance this is from a flint lock like the photo attached? The other piece is copper and appears decorative - almost like a tiny buckle. Thanks in advance.
