Found a few nice buttons and my first gold. The gold appears to be jewelry, a setting for something, maybe a necklace. I think its period for the 18th/19th century since almost everything at this site is that age.
One button had something I hadnt seen before, its the one that says "Warranted Standard Gilt" on the back, in the center of the back is an eagle, holding arrows in its talons. The front is plain but I was wondering if it could be military.

Nice bunch of finds. Congrats
 
Awesome finds! Congrats!
 
Nice!!! Congrats!!!
 
Nice assortment of saves, congrats:icon_thumleft:
 
My guess would be that the gold piece is from a "ball back" or "toggle" type cufflink or button fastener. Great finds!

That makes sense. I was wondering since it had no way to connect to a necklace or ring. Thanks for the help!
 
Congrats on the nice relics! :icon_thumleft:
