Down by the river

I don't usually post here, probably because I don't get around to taking pics of my stuff unless I've got questions. Today though was a pretty good day down by my river spot, so I figured I'd share.

It's a tiny little pendant. I'm actually cleaning it now - I'll post a pic tomorrow
(I should actually mention that it was my son who eyeballed it (along with the flat button, broken shank. And the bottle)

Nice finds, although the bottle looks like a "Mrs. Butterworth"..

Sorry can't do the pics of the pendant, too small the camera I'm using has a useless macro....but I can tell you it's religious, w/ the Virgin on one side and symbols on the other.

I really couldn't tell you. The King's Own Borderers is P. Tait & Co. - Limerick. So that put's it at 1861-1865 according to http://www.ukdfd.co.uk/pages/buttonsntoz.html#anchorn
The other one (artillery I think ) is backmarked Birmingham and something else I can't make out - maybe something Firmin .So I haven't been able to find anything yet... Though with all the knowledgeable people out there I sure someone might be able to date it.

Firmin & Sons but depends on the full backmark, so can't date it precisely but its late 1800s.
