The site keeps producing guys and I'm hooked on the place. Here's the results.

colonial detecting 006.JPG Decorative pewter button, a match to one found at the same site previously
colonial detecting 002.JPG colonial detecting 003.JPG An amazing shape tombac dandy button
colonial detecting 008.JPG Domed button with decorative edge
colonial detecting 009.JPG To me this looks like a key hole cover but really not sure? It has the word PATENT stamped on it. Can anyone confirm or know what it really is?
colonial detecting 005.JPG This appears to maybe be a piece of a broken comb?

Thanks for looking guys, Happy Hunting :icon_thumright:

Very nice finds. The piece that looks like an old comb could also be part of a harmonica reed ? Only casting my opinion because you had a question mark after it.

Does the decorative edge button measure 35mm? Have you gently cleaned that one better yet?

I just measured it to be 31mm haven't don't anything more than a light brushing with water.. Do you recognize the button?

I have found many harmonica reeds and none have looked like this but it wouldn't be out of the question to possibly be from a child's one I guess:dontknow:

35mm and it might of been a gw button. I had a button that looked like that and it turned out to be a gw. But from the experts it has to be 35mm. A really nice find. Buttons are one of my favorite to find.

Missed my chance by 4mm's :BangHead: haha I love finding old buttons too. The big tombac's tend to fool you a little when you see them in situ and gets you thinking silver coin :laughing7:
