Need help with Button and Buckle ages!

[testing123]

Went to a cellar hole this weekend and found two buttons, three buckles, and a 1892-O Barber dime. I'm not sure on the age of the buttons and buckles. Any ideas?

The 1st button has a plain front but the back has a nice decoration and reads "TREBLE GILT."

The second button has a nice decorative front, and the back reads "ORANGE COLOUR." I'm afraid to clean it too much, as it's flaking a bit... Do you think a quick hit with soap, water and a toothbrush would be beneficial or hurt it?

The three buckles are in the 1st image.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Careful with the lemon juice. it will strip down to bear metal. I stopped using it as it was too tough on the patina. Even mixed with olive oil it is too tough for me to start with.

Has anyone tried Hydrogen Poroxide on old stuff..
I used it on some wheats not long ago and found the patina seems to stay in tack, but the dirt
comes off real well...

I use it on old stuff because it's the only finds I dig, or would bother cleaning. Yes, that is a good trick for keeping patina... just don't run it under the water when you're done because it defeats the purpose.

Here's a few done with HP to remove the dirt, but keep the green. The idea is to thin it out enough to make it look good, but not washing away most of the color. (They are a bit more green in person - patina usually doesn't show as well in pics)

That's dirt.... we have dirt in the ground here when we dig our finds. What do you guys have... fluff?

We don't have "dirt" in England


Now you say that though, the dirt you didn't bother to clean off the XP was red
