Found a few keepers by clearing briars and using a small coil to fit into the crevices of the tightly woven walls of thorns alongside a site I previously worked. The Navy button falls right around the War of 1812. The conductors button is two piece and has a backmark I could not find. It reads, H. Bros & Co Phila. All I could think of was Horstmann. The part off of a early Enfield was a surprise it has the initials, R D stamped inside it. The cuff button with the seven circles is the second I found, the first was two years ago when I first discovered the site. It was nice completing the set. Arty

Dawg, the Conductors button is an odd one. I will have to put it on, What Is It to see if the wizards can figure the backmark out.
