A nice trade brooch, 1st reg artillery, key date toast indian

[scratcher]

Here are some finds from my latest foray Sunday. One of these artillery buttons(in good shape) has been high on my wish list and I finally connected. I just posted the other day in hogge's thread about one that was nearly unrecognizable found some time ago. Funny how that worked out.... I hardly care about the little tear. It has what I think is a desirable backmark (Armitage). I don't have Albert's, so any help with the type ID would be appreciated. Seems like there has been a run on buttons of this era lately. I have the undeniable urge to shine it up.....

The trade brooch is in good shape and I think an early one. I love this one..

The key date indian head was found on the way to the site but unfortunately it is toast. I dropped it in hot H2O2 before I even looked at it. I don't think anything can revive it but still a good find...

Looks like you had a great day! That button is beautiful and the brooch is fantastic! Any maker mark on the brooch? What is the size? With the presence of early military and Indian trade items, I would say you have a great spot and I would hammer that site!
WTG,
Dave.
