Seen Better Days

Hello all , I found this Tudor brooch today, when it was new it was silver gilded and would have looked very nice. Unfortunately after around 500 years in the ground it don't look too good. Also found a worn copper farthing of Charles 11, 1674. Can't complain it was a wonderful afternoon to detect and just chill out.

HH Robert.

Hello it looks too big to be a clothes fastener it's also hollow. I found something very similar a few years back in silver it was classed as a hat brooch. Had loads of dress fasteners all solid and smaller.

You can only find what's there, and that's a fantastic arrow head.

I know they are hollow & quite large compared to the normal type. I have handled several with the hooks.
