Nice finds TP, that trooper badge sounds interesting! I found a few glass beads similar to yours on Sunday here in Germany. I think mine are around 300ish years old, could yours be Aborigine? HH, Mike

hi everyone got a phone call early on the trooper button. it came from a regiment called THE RUPERTSWOOD BATTERY and was later called THE SUNBURY REGIMENT VICTORIAN HORSE ARTILLEREY 1865 -1889
