3 Musketballs, 2 Large Cents, and a Buckle

[Deep Seeker]

I took a 2-hour drive to a very old beach where I found a LC in the past. I started detecting on the beach and got a couple coins in an hour so I decided to try in the water. I spent 2 hours in the water and got a swiss army knife and a bunch of sinkers to show for it. I started getting frustrated so I tried the beach again and got 3 musket balls right away and what appeared to be a Large Cent. It was a tiny piece of copper, smaller than a dime, but I looked at it and noticed the detail was the face of the coin. It must have been in the surf for 175 years! I got excited at that point and stayed on the beach. I got 2 small buttons, one copper and one I believe is lead; it still has the shank and feels very brittle. I got one more Matron Head Large Cent that was not too worn and a nice old buckle and some other various things. Does anyone know about how old or what type of buckle this is? Thanks.

That was my initial thought because of its size. Thanks for the input!
