Great day! Three early 1800's military buttons!
Got out with Rick Yingling this past Sunday. We hit the site that has been producing early 1800's military buttons and Del's cannonball. :envious: I decided to concentrate on the spot where we had found buttons. Within a few minutes I had found an 1813 - 1814 1st Regiment foliated script A (Artillery) button with shankage!Attachment 69046 After that, Rick and I started moving brush to see if there were more.Attachment 69047 Anyone need to roast some marshmallows?
