Buckle buttons and large copper

Found these in a pasture today. The copper is toast, but it's old. It was a great weather day here in Md. Good luck to all. Art

That was a great hunt! Is that musket ball "pulled?" Sub 8-)

Any idea what the item near the top with the hole at each end and the arch in the middle is? found one of these not to long ago and have a couple guesses but not sure. Congrats on your finds!

I have no idea. What are your guesses?

My guesses were maybe from the side of a rifle or an earlier window or gate lock?? really not sure maybe someone will see and fill us in.

pretty sweet finds, I'd say. I can't believe that tiny button still has the super thin little loop still attached. very nice. WTG!

I have a lot of respect for ANYTHING found in a farm field! Lots o work!

Is it me or do I see what looks like a bust on the copper? Kinda looks upside down. :dontknow:

I thought I saw a man's head when I dug it, but it got worse after cleaning
