Hi Stever, nice selection you found. Well done on making the effort in this weather.
The buckle looks to be poss. late Georgean and the bit at the top looks like the tongue out of another one. Do you think the coin you can't I.D is a badly degraded 20p.
The spoon looks most interesting. Have you done a silver test on it ? are there any marks on it ?

the buckle tang at the top of the pick probably dates from mid 17th to mid 18th century

take a bit of new silver foil, spit on it and then wrap the spoon in the spit covered foil , rub gently and if its silver a bad egg smell will result  Wink Wink  then its silver

If it goes a bit crazy steve turn the sensitivity down and make sure the coil lead is not hanging over the coil
