Here are two metal adornments that were brass gilded (?). There is no brass on the back so I am assuming they were not plated. The back is chunky unfinished metal of some kind. The big one with flower in the center had material attached on the back when I popped it out of the ground but it came off throughout the day while detecting. The small one is a bird chasing a bee through the grass. I have an idea of what I think they are. What are your thoughts?

I know they're neat looking. Sorry not helpful.
Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.

No shank marks on the back to indicate they were buttons. I would date them to the late 1800's to early/mid 1900's.

Those appear to be from the head dress of a Kickapoo Chief called Wha Ta Ney Ha Eshhese Da Sa, meaning, Sickly Bird in english. He died.
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....
