1694 Cobb, 1788 reale, shoe buckle and other colonial finds at old farm/house site

[Chief31]

Had a great recent hunt at one of the farms I hunt dating back to 1600s in Virginia , I went back to spot near the large cemetery, beautiful silver including the 1694 Cobb and reale , very cool blow hole button (never dug one with a design on the front) and very old nipple button. Been digging a lot of shoe buckles lately which I love and dug another nice complete one Largie is in good shape, the iron piece is interesting and was found in a pit with lots of pottery and not sure if it’s a very old small tool ? I think I see decoration on the brass piece ? Not sure if that is off a musket ?
