2nd trip to old site: 7th reg infantry button - SILVER cuff button - Rosette - Enamel

[Cross Potent]

Got back down to my newly found colonial site and picked up a few more neat items. 1798 - 1802 UNITED STATES 7th regiment infantry button - sure wish I had the whole thing. A very nice silver cuff button. A much better silvered rosette of the same type I found yesterday - not broken - yay!. Some kind of enameled rosette thingy. Is this thing old? Looks it! Maybe means nothing but its red, white and blue with STARS. Today was also buckle piece day. Found a copper but it is toast. Few buttons and odds and ends.

Man I didn't pay much attention to that enameled piece but that is a very intriguing piece and it sure looks old. Very cool and keep us posted if you learn more

At 1st me either. Then I washed it off and looked at it closer and I changed my mind. Then I learned enameling has been around for eons. Now i think it could be an amazing find.

Wow! What a fantastic site! The 7th Reg button is awesome & the enameled button is killer too. I found the same exact item you did & it was IDed as the top of a rein guide, not a rosette. They must have been fairly common. Bill D sent some pics of ones he's found that are exactly the same as well.

These are actually called strap guides, the one posted is quite a nice one. Strap Guide - UK Finds Database -

Thanks! Was hoping it was a bit older.
