Went back to the spot where I found part of a really old pewter spoon and it paid off! I only found two relics, but they are both great finds.
The best find was a silver colonial shoe buckle! At least I think it's a shoe buckle. It measures about 2 1/2" high by 3" wide. It's a little bent, but still a cool find. It appears to have a silver applied finish to the front. Very detailed design on it as well. As you can see, the silver cleaned up nicely!
The other find was a flat button with sort of a basket weave design on the front. It's about the size of a nickel. The back has an eagle and a ribbon or banner, as well as the words "best quality" on it. I'm guessing 1770's or so, but any help as to the exact age of the button would be appreciated.
Here's a few pics:
