'Cookie Coin' yields a nice Silver Surprise, added Button pic!

Hi All,
I've been using my Safari instead of the Etrac on some of my pounded sites.
Seems the different tone frequencies are letting me
recognize targets I've missed.
Got a totally encrusted coin, curiosity lead me to chip off one edge,
Stars on silver! awesome, another Seated dime
NOT! after getting home and giving it the hot/cold treatment,
turns out to be an 1824 Bust, YeeHaa my earliest US Silver
(I know it looks like 1821, but I saw it pretty clearly right after the crust removal).
Also a copper cross, I think I see Jesus on top, maybe Mary on bottom
Can anyone help with info or date on this old looking design?
Reminds me of the medievel stuff from across the pond.
Colonial pewter button with star/flower design.
An ornamental copper/brass whatsit with 2 screw attachments on rear
A really thin Merc,
one of those copper core spoons with design on both sides
And a heavy cast copper piece, from a lamp or burner of some sort I believe.
thanks for looking, & great digs to everyone

Nice coin for sure. A lot of other nice finds as well. The pix under the fork or spoon handle...is that a oil lamp part, where the turn knob would be. (just trying to improve my recognition skills)
Thanks for posting, looking forward to more of your finds.

Thanks Arty and Romeo1
Hi Bunker,
That piece is the opener key and coiled strip from an old time can of food
The last time I saw that type of can was the late 70s, it held bacon
Good eye picking that odd piece from the group
