Saturday's finds - Buttons, Buckles and Silver

These were found Saturday on a club hunt. This site produced my first old U.S. money find, a 1829 capped bust half dime. Also found were buckles, buttons, a musket ball, an old knife, a 1947 roosie, iron plows and other iron pieces. All in all an excellent day of detecting. Any help in identifying these two buttons would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Godd job on the half dime. Skipped right over the seated and went to the capped bust. I bet that made your day huh?

I was just glad that there were other people there to see me pull it out of the ground. This is my first really old us minted coin. I have found half reales from the 1700's and considered them my best finds but the half dime has topped those.
