Brooch pin unknown age

Found this about 4 inches in the ground in a old field that has now been reclaimed by forest the past 100 years. Has anyone seen this particular one before and have a clue on the age? It is about 3 inches across.

Hi S.D. nope have never seen that type before but think I may have dug broken parts of similar ones at old farm sites that are now plowed fields. Still nice find there man!

It is a very pretty brooch - shame their isn't any marks on the back to help ID it Stealth digger.

Never seen that one before... but that's a vintage brooch, a beautifully crafted brooch with filigree detail. Just keep it safe because it meant to be treasured and eventually passed on as family heirlooms.

I think it's of the "Empire style" era... but I'm more guessing than saying it is.
Where's Breezie when needed?

Looks to be every bit of a hundred years old - I'd guess 1890's -1910 period - really a beauty !!!
