2 brooch kind of day

[Nathan W]

Went to new spot that my sister got me permission to behind her church. Old site in woods. Two brooches, some Richard Hudnut thing. MIT button and a few other items. I'm curious if rectangular item is a buckle. I got another item that's soaking I might put it on the what is it forum later

Massachusetts Institute Of Technology Coat Button John R. Farrell Back Mark | eBay

John R. Farrell Boston back mark. It is SU 244 in Albert's. Three piece staff style. Complete with shank. This is an early Massachusetts Institute Of Technology. But I also go to shows.

My first impression of the rectangular thing with an "R" at the center & looking at the back is its part of a padlock. Did a Google image search and there is something that looks like it (except the "R" is different) in a youtube video that requires a login. The title of the video is "Metal Detecting Prospecting Relics Missing 1800 Homesteads Upstate Western NY New York Club Hunt". Since I don't have a youtube account, I was unable to see what it is. If you or another TNetter has a youtube login, maybe the ID will be in the video.

Yeah I figured it was a lock. I still got to clean things more those brooches are nowhere near clean enough , they are so detailed

Nathan W, I wouldn't put too much faith in my first impression...it may be something other than a lock.

Great finds!

I like the button. There’s a coin or two hiding in there somewhere. Good luck!
