new here and got some items need identified

[chatterx]

Hello, I am new here and dont know the extent of everyones knowledge on antiques.

I have a friend who does metal detecting and collects old bottles he finds from time to time. The other day he asked me to take pictures of some things he has found to get a idea on what they are and possibly worth. If anyone knows... your input is greatly appreciated. Or if you could point me in the right direction... that would be appreciated as well

First item is some kind press or stamp, the whole thing is made of iron, but I dont know what the actual die is made of cause it really doesnt show any corrosion.

Next up is a bracelet of some sorts. It appears to be made of copper. My friend was told it was a slave bracelet... I dunno I would think so too

Now pics of some medallions he has found, they all seem to be catholic. I know the first one has a date of 1830 on it. If you have anymore questions on these just ask and I can get him to take a closer look at them

That first item sure looks like a notary stamp like Jim says. Don't know on the copper bracelet, but the religious metals are all the newer style, the 1830 is not the date it was made,but something to do with sainthood and think you will find that on most of them.
