My favorite and best find yet.

I dug this button a while ago and decided not to put it up on here. But what really changed my mind was this- yesterday it was in the American Digger magazine and on the cover so why not! It's a War of 1812 era one piece US Navy button. The back mark is Extra Rich Orange. I flipped out when I saw the gilt left on it. Thanks for taking a look y'all! I colored out my last name and the name of the person I was with due to the fact that I don't know how he feels about his name being up on a random website haha. Part of the article.

Awsome button! I recently found a similar one called a "forage cap" button. It too is dated from the war of 1812. If you'd like to see it's on my YouTube channel "Graysondigger". It's on the last vid I uploaded. The first part of the vid is the CSA buckle I posted here a few days ago. HH!
