Virginia state seal button / Unknown LC ? / Ring

[ModernMiner]

Today I enjoyed this beautiful NC weather detecting at an early 1900's house. I detected here many months ago one time, but never hit the right side of the house which used to be a horse pasture. Now it's an easy to detect large grass field.
As you can see I found a few horse related buckles and a strange looking rein guide.

The highlights of my day though were:
*My first Virginia state seal button. "Extra Fine Gilt" back mark. Pretty toasted, but I'll take it. This makes my fourth state seal button (1 NC & 2 SC previously)
*A heavy men's wedding plated band. Also toasted.
*A 28mm copper coin (?) which is smooth as a babies butt. I'm thinking it was an LC at some point.

Any idea on that whatsit item?

Thanks for looking,
MM

Great finds, Super button Find! Love the scene photo.
28 is the size. got enough of those myself
Any idea what the item in 2nd photo, top row, left of spoon is?
I have one, and saw another posted a couple months back.
I asked that poster, they didn't know.
I've tried to open beers with it, no go.
Best digs to you

Thanks Steelhead.
That item was part of some horse related gear. That piece and one of the other buckles pictured were still attached to a piece of rope until I cut them off.

Thanks MR.
I've only found three LC's in my detecting career and two are smooth.
They must last longer up north.

I sure hope so. At this point I'll take anything draped, standing, seated, or even squating.

Congrats on the VA button and other great finds MM. I love your house-LOL. The whatsit item went onto the end of a bottom of a cane or other wooden item. The hole was for a screw or nail to keep it secured to the cane or handle. Just my guess. HH, Quindy.

Glad to see nice relics coming out of NC.

Awesome VA button. I agree with Q. Looks like the bottom of a cane.
Congrats

Thanks Quindy.
Now I need a Tenn state seal button to complete my set. Did you leave any?
By the way, the house you see is for sale too. Only $700K!

Thanks Bird.
Not only are they coming out of NC, but they are staying in NC too.

Thanks Dman. I had a joke about Q and his ID on the cane piece, but I'll be a good boy.

P.S. You guys leave any Tenn buttons for me to dig?

It's good to see your out finding some good stuff.

That's a nice VA pre-war, militia button! Your whatzit is a piece of horse tack I'm pretty sure. I can't remember what they're called...it's not a "hame" I don't think...

Cheers,
