--early ARTILLERY BUTTONS

[aka da Prof]

so, while everyone else is fishin' I went a huntin !! back to a field I've hit hard over the past ten years, but first time with my ATPro. I did get one more Artillery button and two cuff buttons. Will posting to FB, I realized one of my earlier artillery buttoms is more unique than the rest. Perhaps some one can enlighten me on what year and rarity they are. Out of this field has also come pieces of a Shako Hat plate, sward scabbard tip, many buttons and col coins, also a 2 reale from 1774.
any help and info welcome--- ps, it was a cold and windy 2.5 hrs out there--- Social Distancing at it's best !!--- thanks, ��da Prof ��

There is something about an eagle on a cannon that has always grabbed my attention. I have found a few of the one on the left, but would love to dig the Artillery Regt type.

I found the same button as the one on the left in PA. : ) The face on yours is nicer though. Pretty exciting getting into buttons that old.

right, but in some farmer fields, the fertilizer can really eat copper up. but, in the woods!!! that's a different story !

 

[aka da Prof]
