Nice out  today.Me and Melonhead decided we'd get out again.Couple of others unavailable.Tried another new field. Found the usual coppers , buttons and buckles. Didn't find our usual silver coin though, but found these Huh

Peter,
Any idea?  
My first thoughts were a smaller Victorian hatpin. Got one the same style of twisted filigree work.

Then 10 minutes later , found another!!!!
Cleaned up, they've came up nice , but got a button type eyelet on the back.
30mm diameter x 10 mm- double layered

Hi Phil,

You may want to compare to this for reference:

http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/179063

Although your buttons appear larger and have more segments, the design is very similar:

Thanks Techony for the investigation work.

I've put them on ukdfd and they wanted more photos of the shank. tell you the results, but still believe them to be Victorian, but hope they're older.

 Will report them to PAs in Welshpool after meeting them at Brecon MDC last Tuesday.

Cheers
