Final finds of 2015: buttons, relics, DB Half cent

Here are some finds from my last few hunts of 2015. The SLQ is the one I found prior which I (over) cleaned to get the tarnish off. Tough to tell from the pic but found a DB Half Cent....crusty and no date. The Mickey Mouse spoon is circa 1930's. Any help on that small button sized thing with the image of the woman in it would be appreciated. A fancy button maybe or tiny make-up thing? The kiddie ring is marked sterling but the stone looks to be junk. Hit a spot that produced some killer buttons, most with shanks. There were various ages including tombac's and dandy's. The three matching (dandy sized, but ornate...probably early 1800's?) were found in the same location but on three separate days. They are my favorite buttons I have ever found. Happy New Year everyone!

Very nice assortment of finds. Buttons are definitely the best finds of that collection and a little cleaning will likely bring out some nice detail. I found the exact same button like the one at bottom on your second wide shot (decorative circumferential ring pattern around the middle). After a bit of time in the tumbler it brought out some nice shiny gold gilt. Happy New Year and best of luck in 2016!

Nice finds. The scout slide is a standard webelo scout neckerchief slide.
