Hey Jeff Gordon, check out new new find Rev War British button

[smokeythecat]

I find stuff because I go a lot. Went with some friends and found this little guy lying in a lot of deer doo and with all the trash in the world. Rev War officers' cuff button in brass. Has a standing lion, facing right, tail in the air, mouth open an standing on a flat of ground. Got a ton of trash too and some nice Rev War iron which is hard to get now. View attachment IMG_0552.jpg I had trouble with the computer just now, but I drove a long way to get this one. At our "farm" from last year also dug an unexpected 18t century 2 piece repousse button like the officers used. Don't think there is anything on it. One person I was with dug a nice .69 caliber musket ball, British and this little button could have been from the 1st (Goldstream) Guards or Royal navy as the motif was used by both.

Why would a deer eat a button?

No, the deer did not eat the button. But I was digging where the deer bed down. Deer doo everywhere. Haven't retired yet.

No, the deer did not eat the button.

Are you sure? Have you never heard of a button buck?

Fyrffytr1, Isn't it nap time yet?

Msbeepbeep, I climbed a mountain once to detect the top and threw up when I got there. Got 3 Rev War marked buttons. That was another lifetime ago.
