Strange Mix of Digs! Civil War, Silver, Gold and Lead

[MonkeyBoy]

Hello All.. Hit a new spot today... very strange mix of stuff... The Nickel is a '45 Silver.. dug 3 new state quarters in the same area?? Found the grapeshot, three ringers, stirrup piece and the large flat piece of lead in a small field. Any ideas on the lead?

The gold buckle was off by itself.. lots of gold!!

I have a question.

Two down. Pointy with a metal flap on it. What is it?

Hey!! The grass was pretty tall... really hard to hunt but I dug five 3 ringers and a ornate button. Two of them were cleaners, one of them had been carved.. so there is potential.
They are going to start grazing cattle in the fields pretty soon.. so I'll hit it again then.
