The thimble is the find of the day for me looks like 18thc, here's a bit more imformation on that type

Cast and lathe-turned brass thimble with a waffle-pattern crown and regular indentations. The type was probably introduced to England by John Lofting, a Dutchman whose company manufactured thimbles here from the 1690’s until at least the middle of the 18th century. However, other manufacturers, noting Lofting’s success, will undoubtedly have produced similar thimbles.

I found that Thimble and Shoe Buckle inside the cellar hole underneath a flat rock around 6 inches thick my detector read half dollar.I think thats what kept that thimble in such good shape.
