Old trinkets and button

[Angela (Australia)]

Hello all, I've been detecting an old site I hadn't tried before, and found 5 old coins, but I'm intrigued with these finds posted here. Two are old enamelled trinkets, measuring 1.8 cm, possibly from an old braclet, and a hunting dog button, which measures 2.5 cm. One of the coins I found is an 1818 silver shilling, King Geroge 3rd. It's very worn, but the date is just readable under the head.

Nice finds Angela.

I agree with you about the trinkets. They were most likely part of a bracelet.

The one on the right reminds me of the Masons or Eastern Star.

Very cool finds indeed. I agree that they might have been part of an old braclet. Good going.

Thank you for your replies all! I thought I'd post here a couple of photos of some of my best buttins found on the goldfields so far. Hope you like them!

That's a very nice assortment of buttons! Just think of all the people that dropped those. Amazing.

some of those buttons look plastic and such. Did you find them just turning soil as I do marbles now and then??????????

Hi beer, those other buttons are made of glass, but some of those have a metal loop on the back, inserted into the glass during manufaturing. The others that don't, I did dig them up while digging for other relics.

WOW, thats an awesome assortment of buttons you found. Must have been a lot of people running arond with their pants down around their knees.
