Great find! I remember years ago reading that a metal breast plate was found near Jamestown. We lived in Yorktown Va. in ‘59 and ‘60 and I found all kinds of artifacts while digging in a flower bed, pieces of pottery and broken stems of those clay pipes they smoked at the pub. I also found the remains of a flintlock pistol and pieces of cannonballs while climbing around on the steep banks of the York River. It was a fabulous place but I’ll bet it is so changed(built up) now that I would be sad.
