Found these back around March 10th and was afraid to clean them but I was bored today and decided to work on them anyway. I am floored to find out what they are. Never seen them found before although they prob find them in England.
At 1st we thought they might be 4 leaf clovers. Then after cleaning it seemed certain they were monograms or cyphers. Then a buddy identified them as Queen Anne cufflinks (thanks Dan!). I have since found 2 or 3 variants online and at this point someone would be hard pressed to convince me they aren't Queen Anne cypher linked buttons. I am so pleased with how they cleaned up.
1st up the cuffs cleaned up.
2nd, some variants, a few period examples.
The ca 1702 ring:

3rd, the cuffs as dug
