FROZEN CELLAR HOLES *COPPERS & SILVER!

we got into the trails at daybreak.stayed till dark.we found a few new cellar holes.a couple were tough digging but some were manageable.
sniffy struck first copper with a no date classic head half cent.he got a decent looking shoe buckle.he got a 189? ih .
i dug a 1892 barber dime at one site.a shield shaped buckle? any ideas anyone? also a pewter shield shaped thingy that definitely was mounted to something.
a piece of sterling silver knife handle.the broken watch fob says William.L Marcy under his portrait.a ornate key hole plate & a bridle rosette
i went the whole day saying to myself not gonna get a copper today
10 mins before we were ready to call it a day ..BINGO got one.a 1845 coronet head large cent.
we had a good day!

yup that looks like the same pewter piece! does yours have the rusted parts on back too?
i figured the lock plate was newer .i was thinkin victorian era as well.i'm sure some buttons will surface in the spring.so much area to cover at these sites.we will be busy for awhile! Neil do ya think that shield buckle is military issued for a horse strap or bridle?

Mine is the same on the back as yours, and about the same size. Someone suggested a saddle shield. I tend to think that any shield that would be worn by man or by horse would be military, but not sure.
