Finally got to go hunting...neighbor moved some dirt around again and I found the perfect match to the cufflink (minus the hasp) found a few weeks ago....
Flat button with the backmark "gilt"... never seen one with only "gilt"... then the floral one, I'm guessing is civilian colonial... then the other 2 which I thought were identical, but one is slighty smaller than the other and the shanks are quite different. Were there uniforms with buttons that tapered off in size as they went down a coat maybe? :icon_scratch:
small spoon, maybe a latern part and what I think is a clock hand... thought it was a killer little cross at first :tard: :tongue3:

All found in the same location as the Coldstream guard button and Phillip V real cut in half.

coat buttons and cuff buttons can be the same design, just different in size. Nice Digs! Bongo
