Silver Victorian Brooch and other finds

[Helix]

So I have not had a chance to do any detecting up north in my neck of the woods due to the snow and frozen ground. This week I am in southern Indiana visiting relatives and definitely going to spend sometime detecting before I have to head back home. Anyway theses are todays finds. Better finds were a 1968 Canada dime. Some type of small pin or button depicting a Native American, thought was gold at first. Older button and bullet. A 1906 V nickel and the thing on the left I believe is some type of Victorian hat pin?? My favorite find of the day is the silver brooch. I will be going out metal detecting again this weekend so I should have more post in the next few days.

Looks like you had a great day!! I think that silver pin is more likely a newer Mexican filigree piece, does it have any markings??

No hallmarks from what I can tell. One thing I can say is the site I am hunting was a picnic area in the late 1800's early 1900's. Then the site was no longer used. I have made many nice finds over the years at this site. One of those great spot were 95% of all my finds were from that time period trash and all. No pull tabs, no modern trash. Good as it gets! So I guess what I am getting at is my gut is saying its from that time period.
