Went back to the woods today where I found the Militia Waist Belt Plate. Found this button about 200 yards away from where I found the plate. It still has a good amount of gilt on it. I tried to ID it by looking on the net, but couldn't find anything similiar. I'm assuming it's New York State, but I was wondering if anybody out there could help me out with it. Gribnitz? PBK? Thanks. The button was real hard to photograph. The three photos below don't do it justice; it looks a lot better in real life. Also there appears to be a back mark, but its too hard to read.
