Very nice Scott, is that one thing part of a key? looks like that area should be even better for you. were you hunting with Keith?
Nice, can you make it out? Looks like George III but maybe Irish.

As mentioned above, it says Hibernia (Ireland) on it and has the the harp so it is definitely an Irish Colonial Copper (half penny I think) that somehow made it to the American Colonies.
See this link: George III Halfpenny 1775 - Copper Proof
That Confederate cavalry button is incredible.

Well Done
copper half pennies very widely used in colonies both English and Irish versions
as there was a shortage of small change, big wave of counterfeits came in from England to feed the demand
yours appears a genuine Regal issue as it has 9 strings, curve at end of harp, and the fleur over crown looks correct
but you have to check weight, and diameter, if it is under weight or if diameter is not consistent , it may be counterfeit
see book "counterfeit Georgian Copper coins" Richard Coleman"
