Here are a few of the multitude of buttons found in my field this past season..2 are confirmed via a jewelers test to be gold plated(one barely has any left on it) any idea as to what they are or age of them? 2 are pewter..(1 is badly decayed) and I believe the 2 larger are dandies..there are also 2 pewter utensile handles..spoon? fork?

Hello Castletonking , welcome to the forum .
The Dandies are from about the 1770's to 1790's , and the one with the wreathed backmark is a bit newer as is the gold ball button.
