I found these in WA and was stoked as I love doing research on the history behind them. I found what looks to be a child's necklace although I have no idea what the metal used is, it's not magnetic and I'm pretty sure it's not gold.
The other item looks like its a mother of pearl cuff link. If anyone know more about these items let me know :D
 
The necklace looks to be copper with the green oxidation on it, or maybe brass, bit hard to tell from the pic, nice all the same. Were they beach finds, am guessing so due to the oxidation. :)
 
Fob watch chain for a waistcoat is what I am thinking, gold plated or tarnished (less than 9k gold) look close for a stamped makers mark.

Mother of pearl was very popular in that time period and may have come from the same owner.

Great finds :eek: :D
 
Thanks guys. They were found 500 metered apart 600kms north east of perth. Nowhere near the beach. The cuff link was found within a mound of white dirt, not sure what it was.
There are no stamps on the chain so i don't think it is gold.

Funny you say that, it was my first thought as well :rolleyes: it is a known symptom of severe dehydration that those affected rip all their clothes off before pointing their toes to the sky.
