Old 1600's Farmhouse - Shoe buckle(?) and some kind of silver-washed thing

[Shakakka]

Hey all!

Dug 3+ hours at the old farmhouse, found the following:

The backs of the Indians were better than the fronts (1903 and some fatty), and the large copper is completely toasted. I can barely make out UNITED and STATES and a little of the wreath so it's gonna be a large cent, but not sure of the type. Maybe peroxide.



I spent 10 minutes searching for the other half of the shoe buckle(?), but I love the fancy on it.

The long. finial looking thing seems to be brass with a silver wash on the front... but the fancy is spectacular! Have absolutely no clue what it was used for, but there's a tiny hole in the back.

GL & HH!

Neat finds. I get the feeling that is a King William III halfpenny. 1695-1701 era. But u say large cent. Maybe I am seeing things.

Nice score on the buckle piece and old coppers. No detail I can make out on the large copper. I'd soak it a bit and see if you can get some crud off. Nice hunt!

There's some great hand etching on those buckle frags. Could you provide a few better pics of the copper by chance ?

Nice hunt

Well done! I always like fancy buckles. I assume the pistol is a BB Gun? Looks like Luger. My dream pistol lol.
Congrats!

Nice assortment of finds you made.

It's so utterly smooth there are no 'good' pics of this thing, lol. But while still wet in the peroxide I could make out part of the word LIBERTY and the details of a draped bust cent. Possibly 1798. What do you guys think of my assessment?

That coin will be an interesting ID...The 9 looks like a 3 to me...? Nice in any case.
