Dug these recently and anyone know what they are? The second is a broach I think. They were spread out in a old field.

It would sure help if you gave a little more information and front and back sides of all your items. They look like some awesome finds! Is that a gem stone in the square piece? It would also be nice if you could clean it up a bit too! That brooch like thing looks VERY intriguing! I would LOVE to see more pictures of that and the back side too! Any idea what the metal is on these? Any Makers marks? Also on your other posting of thinking it is a bracelet or necklace, is that the front and back or two different things? It looks more like a brooch to me. but hard to say. I deal a lot in antique and / or vintage jewelry so I have a lot of resources but I can't get a lot from your photos.

I appreciate you taking the time and I will get more photos. I didn't see any makers marks of any kind. The square pice is strange and it is a stone of some kind. On the other post that is the front and back picture. Hope to hear back from you when I put better photos! (:

Here are some better shots.

The clarity of your photos are much better, but for the best results, in the future set your items on a colored cloth, a non reflective surface and leave your pixel size at a minimum of 1024 x 768 set the item on a piece of cloth (not white), take the photo when there is good natural light use the flash if you can do it without causing a glare. If you have Macro on your camera use that, if not a trick is to take the photo through a handheld magnifying glass.

Your items may have some markings on them, but it is still hard to tell. Your first two photos are not clear when I try to blow them up so I can't do much with those. I pointed out some of the things I saw on the photos below:

I am giving you the link that shows some of the jewelry Patents. https://encrypted.google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=back%20side%20of%20antique%20jewelry&tbs=imgo:1#q=jewelry+fasteners+patents+-watch+-ring+-bracelet+-chain+-necklace+-shoes&tbm=isch&tbs=imgo:1,ic:gray&imgdii=_

looking through some of these, you may be able to find one with the similar back side. Also look up Makers Marks on jewelry you would be amazed to see how some of the pieces are marked. I hope this helps a little.

I don't know if I'm just seeing things but the brooch to me appears to have the image of a lady. In cdsieg's first pic of what he pointed out the "s" in Looks would be her chin. Anyone else see it?

Thanks for putting such an effort in these. My wife has a great camera with macro so instead of my crappy phone camera I will try again to give you proper photos. (:

I see it, I thought it was obvious so I didn't point it out, but maybe it isn't so obivious! LOL

Your Welcome, another trick sometimes is to just just put a drop of water on it and spread it out, sometimes just that little bit makes a small writing on things stand out.
