Went back to the colonial farm that I found a month or so ago, started going over areas I've had already hunted and WHAM, I started finding all sorts of buttons and broken buckles pieces all in small approx 15ft x 15ft area. I think it was because the clay ground was super saturated, but regardless I was very happy. Found a few pewter buttons, The 3 Tombacks were only a foot or so away from each other. Once I got home and started cleaning my finds I was floored to find from what I believe is to be a Revolutionary War British Button from the 62nd Regiment. It is pewter, very frail. There are a few variations of the Regiment button, the one on top is the closest example I was able to find. There is also this approx 2 inch rectangle lead blob with pin sticking out the back, the only thing I can think of is that it belongs to horse tack of some sort.
