Wish I could say I found it. My buddy wasn't called for work today so he headed over to the colonial field we've been hunting. Button says WEXFORD REGIMENT and either gr or qr in the center. All I've come up with is an Irish regiment from late 1700's to early 1800's.

I love my buttons and your mate got a very nice one there. Hope you can find out some more history to make that find even cooler than it is already.
