Hey BillS,
I got one of those brass? buttons exactly the same as the one at the top of your pic. I got mine out Linton way. I wondered what it was at the time, i might have to go back there, i'd love to get some of those Cinese coins. Well done.

Pretty happy with the find hope you do well at Linton. At first I thought it was a small sinker. It was about four feet from one of the coins. The loop is pretty frail so I was happy that the thing was in such good condition.

Looks like either a Chinese robe button, or possibly part of a Chinese cuff link - either bronze or brass.

Here's a whole bunch of them (not mine).

 

[BillS]

Pretty sure it's a button. The anchor loop is pretty tiny.
