<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TTT286, post: 3940247, member: 19764&quot;][ATTACH=full]322589[/ATTACH] Hi, I’m after some advice on a set of 3 buttons I discovered whilst metal detecting. These are Aboriginal Native (mounted) police buttons, dated around the 1850s, I can’t say much about the area, I believe they may have been burned as a whole uniform and only these remain with a buckle quite destroyed.</p><p>I collect military buttons and badges that I find, but the history is super cool on these, I’ve sold them to a friend in the past and regretted it then purchased them back for the same amount thankfully. I’ve been offered a decent sum of money by a few people lately (a year since I found them) and I’m stuck on what to do, part of me thinks they’re worth a bit less than the offering but I wouldn’t know, they seem extremely rare and hard to get, especially in this condition.</p><p><br /></p><p>Would anyone have any advice on how to value them? Or what to sort of expect for a serious buyer? All the museums I’ve contacted are either clueless or want them donated, as they are aboriginal related it’s a kind of controversial thing anyway.</p><p>Thanks in advance, photos below.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
