Went back to a colonial field in central VA where I already found another capped bust dime and lots of other great relics and it did not disappoint. Dug the 1811 dime in first hole, seems to be a hard date to find? then the large cent and other goodies. Thinking the horse lead or pewter piece may be a bale seal ?

That is a rare coin to find and such wonderful shape it’s in it hurts to see some damage on the shield 🛡 on such a fine coin. Doubt another will be dug up in a long time close to yours

''pewter piece may be a bale seal ?''

Can't add a full ID, but not pewter & not a bale seal. Some kind of cheap metal not more than 100 years old.
