:loveit: the corps button is beautiful "CD" The 1820's eagle button is another good one , what is the piece in the 4th picture middle right side with the hole in it ? got any more pictures of it ?

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.

Great hunting, how far down was the bass????. All those buttons would make great additions to any collection.

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!
