These are all excellent examples, and as such, I have cleaned and conserved the majority of them (but not all). Many types. Date range is from Bronze to Viking Age. There is a very rare Bronze Age example in silver (I believe) included. The majority date circa 900AD to 1300AD and are of Kiev Rus typology (Viking). A few are nice examples of 1200AD to 1400AD English types. There are also three Charles II commemorative types circa late 1600s.
I am a former museum conservator.I (now) have terrible eyesight, so I can work with these materials only a few hours per day and under extreme magnification.Mechanical cleaning methods are all I use (never chemicals).
These buttons were used by Spanish Colonials in Florida with most recovered from St. Augustine.
The buttons are all hand cast, made of copper alloy, and with integral shanks with drilled eyelets.
Standard US quarter shown for scale (not included).
I purchased an extensive button collection from a former colleague back in 2015, and I have been studying and cataloging them since.
My colleague was a well-known amateur archaeologist. He used metal detectors and pioneered some of the search methodologies still used today. He visited quite literally thousands of historic sites here and the US and abroad.
