Congrats on that beautiful War of 1812-era artillery cuff button! :wow:

That is a wonderful piece of history, and so are your other finds. Good job rescuing those relics from the ground!

:congrats:

My hunting partner said it came off the bottom of a flint lock pistol , it looks like that to me too. Its shaped like it goes on the bottom of the handle of a old pistol.

very possible the reason I was pointing it out . I assume its kind of cup shaped on the other side .

Congrats again on some nice quality finds .

More great finds Calabash. Were these buttons from the same field you've been pulling other mil. out of? If so, you've got one heck of a honey hole there sir!

another homesite with in about the 3 miles of the honeyhole we have pulled 14 military buttons from this site in two trips. The honey hole wound up giving up 35 military buttons so far.
