Civil War Buckle? Large Cents , Unidentified token, and silver to boot !

Took some of the gang to a new spot I discovered recently and today was a great day to dig! Right off the start I dig the silver plated (I think) spoon ! Next to it was the "US" Buckle! Wasn't quite sure how old it was but I'm hoping it's an authentic civil war belt buckle, any help with that would be great!
We kept at it....the lads dug some period relics and soon one of them had an 1831 LC! Not long after that I dug this weird token with the words "Illustrious Predecessor". It has a horse on one side and a turtle on the other....I haven't even looked it up yet, I just got home and wanted to share with Tnet....BAM! after that out comes a 1850's LC ....the lads left and I kept swinging into dusk, recovering yet another LC and ended the hunt with my first silver thimble !

The token is of the "hard times tokens" group - Google it

Quite a hunt vineyarder, the puppy paw US buckle would have been enough for me, but adding the hard times token and silver thimble is fantastic

Looks like you had an awesome day out swinging. Congrats!
Love the buckle and thimble! Couple of LC's always makes your day.
By lads do you mean you go out with your kids? If so, hope they had ear to ears smiles as I know my son would have.
