Found these at a "worked out" colonial homesite. A regular D type buckle, a typical flattie with no pattern and a neat little copper brooch type pin. Nickel for size comparision. Thanks for looking!

I love those "hunted out" sites! Novices only dig the good sounding coins and leave anything that reads less than a penny or sounds like it may be an aluminum can.

WTG!

That is certainly what it looks like, the one on the end. I assumed it was a brooch because the remnants of a pin clasp on the back. Cool! The site has also seen some civil war activity, as it was a town where Wilde marched through with 400 negro troops and burned alot the houses down.
Could be the rosette came from that?
