Can anyone help with the age of these two finds. Both found at colonial site where we have found many 1700s coins.

Looks like Benjamin Franklin, sorta. Nice finds...d2

The first one looks to be a carnelian cameo.

At a glance I'd say the navy button is roughly 1812 period... I think the one listed in Albert's book as NA-6A... Either of these tidbits could be off by a bit.
Im pretty sure I can make out the word GILT on the back, but a bit of light cleaning to see the whole backmark might help in exact dating.

The cameo style piece may have been the end of a seal, either on a watch fob or even a ring. For pressing your mark into sealing wax on documents etc. By the hairstyle later 18th century is very likely. I have a few of them complete. Hope that helps

I feel both would date from the end of the 1700s to the early 1800s, roughly, and be described as "late Georgian"

Very nice apparent carnelian intaglio! I would love to find that. Does it look like it was attached somehow on the back side?

I don't know what the first thing is but I am in love with that button

I can't help you but I sure like 'em.
Excellent finds.
