Hi Lee
Thanks for the reply, It was found in Portugal I detect between Portugal & England, I have had many medieval finds from the same spot if that helps put it in to context.

As Taz42o quite rightly said 1st we have a buckle..
UK Finds Database - - - UKDFD
UK Finds Database - - - UKDFD

Then the following item is a Oversized Thimble, most probabbly of a Muslim / Islamic origin ( medieval )
More about Thimbles

The third Item I believe to be of a cosmetic context, for cleaning ears ( Roman ) all thoug late Roman III / IV Century AD and more recent than those in the link.
Record ID: WMID-7F1F63 - ROMAN ear scoop - Database

Yes to the first two, the last items could also be Roman Medical implements.

That is a thimble and a old one at that. I hunt antiques and old gold, silver and enamel thimbles are one of the things I pick up as they sell so well. Last ones I sold went to south France to a gal who collected them. You will find some thimble collector websites that may give you the information on the one you found. To me it looks very old and could be worth some good money, even in the condition it is? You sure do have some nice finds to boast about. I enjoy seeing the finds of the old country. Thanks!
