Cleaned and looking beautiful, I ran the detector over the front and 45 so I turned it over to the back 42 which would be the copper latch....Could be Gold? Won't know until I take it to a jewellers... Or I will just admire its beauty.  |

Interesting find, is the bit on the back on a spring at all? It almost looks like it supposed to clip on something.

One piece Clip and yes it does clip on something not sure what though, clip is made of copper as stated above and I don't really know if it is Gold, can;t even date it because no hallmarks, only way to tell is by the clip itself. The blue is enamel I believe. |

I first though a belt buckle, but it seems too small.
Very interesting indeed.

After doing some research and finding out from a Jeweller, a Pawnbroker we have found what it is which was confirmed by a lady of Scottish decent....It is a Kilt Pin/Brooch...So happy with the find and a nice little treasure.  |

I am defiantly not an expert, but i don't know mate, that seems a little off for a kilt pin. Most of them from my understanding were just that, pins.
With a clasp like your find has, it seems more like it would have clasped a scarf or hat. I also thought the Scottish lion was normally depicted vertically not horizontally?

Yes on a crest or flag it is, (Lion Rampant) they call it, so lets do this so we can see it in a different light.  |

Found this in the park no idea what it is will clean it up and do another picture. Got an idea but before discussing post a pic when the soil encrustation is removed so we can examine the detail in the centre. hatter |
