The one looks like an old one piece button that may have a number on the front .. possibly a toasted regiment button of some sort? It measures 18mm.

The other is a cool old sporting button with an elk head on it!

Found just a few other nondescript things in search of an old long-gone house site.

Very nice buttons!

I also like your signature line about shedding possessions.

I recently gave away 95% of my belongings and it is very liberating.
 

you are very right, it is very cool
 

Nice old buttons, congrats! :icon_thumleft:
 

Update: It is now thought that the first button is a 23rd Regiment of Foot of the Royal Welsh Fuzileers. It actually measures 19mm instead of 18 as I stated before.
 

Yes sir those are both nice.
 

That critter looks more like a caribou than an elk. Neat button. Gary
 

The elk/deer/caribou head button is very nice. What type of metal is it made of. Thanks.
