Epic find! Rev War officers button

[ironhorse]

Hey hey diggers !
Here we are in the fall season of digging up Dirtyville.
Got out with a great group of guys looking for treasures on an early site that produced many coins, buttons, and relics dating back to the 1780s/90s.
Last trip we saw a different Rev War officers button from the Kings American 4th regiment come out so we went looking for more of them but none were found.
However, a got a good looking button that wasnt on our radar and turns out is much more desirable.

A lovely 84th regiment officers button!
The Highland Emigrants were a huge part of Rev War for the British side and their records reflect it well.

These seasoned fighters have lots written about them and rightly so..
I'm proud to have such a piece of history!

Geez that's a pretty looking button, it has so much going for it. Congrats on the recovery.
It's kind of a button drought this year for me.
Got a good half penny today-but I was wanting a button.
