Coins, CW & other buttons, relics

Hunted 2 old homesites tonight and did very good. The first site is in a mowed field and it is absolutely terrible for digging. I was using my big spade shovel and it took all I could to dig 4-5" down. This site netted the 83 Indian and the 63 Fatty Indian along with the flat buttons and my favorite relic in the bunch...the object that looks like a decorative C clamp. Any of you have any information on that? The next site netted miscellaneous relics and the two military buttons. The eagle button I am familiar with but the Rhode Island Hope button seems to be pretty special. If you know your buttons, tell me more about this and if it is rare at all, thanks.

I tried googling sword hangers but wasn't having any luck dating this one. Any ideas? Thanks for the specific ID on the button as well.

See reply #14 on this post. Does your find have the nub of a broken piece on the other side?

Here is a picture of the opposite side. It appears there was a flapper that held the opening shut at one time. Does this help?

Yep, I think you have a sword hanger there.
