2 buckles and a gold diamond ring!

Today I was searching the beach near a 1700s fort during the revolutionary war. I found these two buckles (if anyone can help me identify the type before I dive into my own research that would be great) and 2 cylindrical objects - I don’t know what they are or how old. The gold diamond ring I assume modern. The age of the larger cylinder by look at least seems to match the buckle.

The rectangular object looks to me like a drawer pull from a library card catalog. Nice finds!

Ok, yes, the rectangular piece definitely seems like a stamped brass drawer pull. Check out the resemblance in this pic. Apologies to Crusader who had it right - not a buckle at all! I think I was thrown off by the fact that Rev war era buckle and this were so close together. I found a picture of a nut and bolt case from a hardware store, 1890s to 1920s, which had a lot of the drawer pulls attached that look similar.
