Went out for a hunt after dinner and found the sports field occupied, so I went over to the trail beyond the field and I'm very glad I did. The first relic dug - a 1766 Hibernia half penny. The finds just kept coming and after an hour and a half I had 2 escutcheon plates, 2 buttons (one of which is a large tombac), a musketball, rivet, harmonica reed, part to an old ruler, and some decorative copper.
Thanks to research by others, the two pieces I've identified as escutcheons are actually parts to colonial-era saddle strap guides.
