First time digging near 1800's cellar holes oh the relics

Haven't posted anything for a while, but I just cant resist anymore. Seems only right to show people who can appreciate, since most I know could care less. Anyways I've been researching and doing a lot of footwork and finally found the spot I've been looking for that I can detect. Deep in the woods, old cellar holes, no modern trash. I know for sure it was settled 1850s and gone by 1915 or so. I went out initially looking for coins with no luck but I've been having a blast digging old relics.
I found my first horseshoe, a piece of a lantern or lamp dates 1868, also this piece that's hand engraved '74 which I would assume was 1874. This isn't the half of it I still need to clean some things up but here's a few things.

Also I found these two brooch or pins or something i don't know. They were in the same hole so I would think they were connected at one point. These are my personal favorites and if anyone has any information on them or what they specifically are I'd appreciate your input. Thanks for looking happy hunting,
Sam

I like to buckle. I deffinetly think you are going to make some good finds at that spot. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you guys. I'm just disappointed I found it so late in the year. I'm gonna be dreaming about hunting there all winter. One person said that they are shoe buckles which seems about right after looking at pictures of others. I just can't believe I found both

Oh wow,you have found yourself a sweet spot! I think that almost intact lantern is a great find as well as is the relic that could be a sash buckle. When you say people don't care,I don't think that's true. I not only post here to show you what I've found but to applaud others and say" well done."

It's more that most of my friends or family don't truly appreciated the things I find so I don't really show much off anymore aside from what I post here. It's very disappointing to try and show a friend something you found and they clearly don't care or understand. But that's why I got tnet. Thanks ya'll are the best.

I agree. From the photo it looks like a 19th century sash buckle. Lucky you found the two pieces. Great finds!
