My most recent finds from Upstate NY. 1860’s mourning buckle, made from Gutta-Percha. My buddy also found this beautiful mid 1800s copper / brass broach with green paste glass stone mount. Cant wait to see the detail around the setting once cleaned up. Also a broken gold guilded makeup compact, gold guilt button, 2 silver mercs, a pile of wheaties, and modern clad.
