Second one is part of a Georgian buckle.

The round thing possibly a button that has lost its middle, or is it a Georgian halfpenny that someone messed around with?

I've had a few buttons with that kind of pattern on them, but the ones I've found are usually silvered - perhaps as well as losing its middle it has lost its silvering.

It's defiantly a strange one Prob, it's made of copper me thinks but has been hand carved at with a star and tiny little nicks/carvings all round to make the star look like its shining.

My money is also on an 18thC button, the star symbol is very common then and yes they do look hand decorated, even the central hole matches the shape of where the loop was brazed on Wink
