Had a short hunt yesterday due to the rain, but still managed to pull a few relics. Ended up finding buckle fragments, flat buttons, and what I’m assuming may be a silver button. I can’t find any evidence on the back where a shank would have been attached. Any ideas on what it could be?
I also dug a few other odds and ends. One item that keeps puzzling me is the small disc with the two holes. I’ve found a handful of these over the years at colonial sites but still haven’t positively identified them. Curious if anyone recognizes it.
Penny added for size reference. Thanks for looking!

Very interesting finds JOMP. :occasion14:
The wishbone shaped piece looks like a colonial shoe buckle tongue.

Everything looks old or the type of soil holding them. The little fork looks like a part to a sighting instrument???
