Bunch of cool stuff at a corn field including silver, and some unknowns!

Got some oddball finds today. No idea on a couple of them. Got a nice 1838 LC, bunch of buttons, couple pieces of silver!, and the folded thing which is a bit larger than the large cent - it looks to have hung from something as there's a little attachment on one end. I think it has "HAIL" at top with another word but I can't read it. The inside of the fold looks to be the indentation of where the design was pushed through. Any idea on what it is and age?? Thanks for looking!

It's part of an 1850 patent suspender buckle

It says "HAIL COLUMBIA", but I don't know what it is.

Up until the 1890s "Hail Columbia" was played as the de facto national anthem of the United States. President Lincoln once mentioned he had to stand up and take off his hat when "Hail Columbia" was sung. Many Europeans actually took it to be the U.S. anthem and played it accordingly. In 1889 it was played in that fashion to honor Thomas Edison as he entered the Paris Opera House.
