Had a couple of new permissions this week, in Abergavenny and Llantwit Major.

Found a copper George 111 that I can't identify, and a silver-gilt brooch (?) that looks pretty ornate but not sure of its age.

See what You lot think!

Brooch looks like a Tudor hooked clothing fastener.

Would appear to be silver gilt. The hook has broken off it.

Nice finds  Eric!

I agree with most of the above, so well done all on the IDs.

The first one is a gaming counter, something like this:

http://www.ukdfd.co.uk/ukdfddata/showrecords.php?product=36075&cat=207

The second item is a 16th century silver-gilt clothing fastener. This one is similar, but is missing the attachment loop, whereas yours is missing the hook:

http://www.ukdfd.co.uk/ukdfddata/showrecords.php?product=27365&cat=102

Should be reported as possible Treasure if you want to do the right thing.

I wouldn't say nobby was wrong, these would have been gilded originally and probably attempts were made to pass them off as guineas.
