Possible military items

[aloldstuff]

Now that I have entered the digital age, these items have been driving me crazy, not knowing exactly what they are. They are both dug items. The first item I am sure is a rosette, brass w/lead back, two posts still showing. The reason I think military is on the right hand side of the script I am sure I see 2 numbers, a 5 over an 8 or 9. The second item I think is british, the slogan Ich Dien should be on this but I only have the Dien which is on the right hand side. Any experts or even just opinions welcomed. thanks for looking

the first is dfinately a rosette but i'm unsure of what it is refence to also the second item does look British , Welsh to be more specific the 3 plumes and crown design was a Welsh motif . the back however looks almost like a cloak or cape clasp with the button type loops . it very well could of been a military item Al. very cool item .

Del, the British thing I've been told is 3rd dragoon guards but still don't know the age.

hey Al if it was confirmed as British military then it would have to be older than about 1814 as thats when the last British invasion took place in these parts . was it found at an older site like cellar hole or farm field ect.
if we ever get a chance to detect together i'll bring a few cloak clasps i have to compare them with that one to try to date it .

Del, it was found in a farm field. Any idea about that rosette, does my thinking make sense on that item?
