🔎 UNIDENTIFIED I’ve been working on something

[Truth]

I’ve been working on something and without giving too much away I’m in the swamps with a crazy shrimper who is told me about the first people in America with German the problem is the hurricanes have blown everything in and out and it’s taxing I can tell you that. The guy I’m with is more interested in the petrified wood as I’m into Metal Detecting and area where a House once was. I did find an interesting piece and I wanna know if anybody has seen something like this?

It looks like it had hooks or a pin on the back. Is that right? What metal?

Looks like silver but hard to tell. I think it had a pin or latch on back. Maybe a hat pin or broach Just a guess. I found one about that size that still had the latch for pin on back and it was more feminine. I figured it was a ladies broach or pin attachm3ent for a hat or something.

Looks like a Indian chief though doesn’t it?

Yes sort of. I do not think this one is a ladies. But it does appear to be a pin or broach/badge of some type.

Hey Truth. Mine is a bit different than yours. It has a lady's face and looks like it had a ribbon hanging from it at one time. I have not tried to polish it up, just soft brush and mild soap. Not sure on metal but brass or copper I suppose. I could work on it and find out. Yours is much nicer metal, I think. I am fairly sure this was worn by a lady.
It is just a bit smaller than yours. I did not go out to the garage to get a tape since I was just showing you a comparison.

I cleaned it up a little bit oh and I also found this leaf

A front door decoration? The loop on the one with the cherub (baby) may indicate it was a door knocker. People proud of their heritage or even coat of arms were on their front door.

It’s pretty thin for a door knocker ad it only like 2” at the most

The edges seem a little rough to be a ring but could the two nubs on the back be the bands on a decorative ring?

Would be a huge ring.

Actually, that is a good point. But I still go with badge or pin or perhaps a decoration for furniture or house.

I found this in a Shellmound that was occupied by a German village on the opposite side of Lake Ponchartrain outside New Orleans a spot where they used to live but it was erased from a hurricane in the early 1900’s

It's definitely an American Indian.
Looks like lead.
Reminds me of a death mask.
