My first War of 1812 Button

Very sparse historical finds in the area But history books say otherwise.Laying on top of the ground! Passed over it for the last several decades literally. After A decent rain this little guy was revealed. My detector was messing up I thought, so I changed search Coils and did a test by throwing a quarter and dime down on the ground. As I was scanning with larger search Coil I noticed a penny on the ground Near the quarter.
Or so I thought. Artillery second regiment with Leavenworth Hayden and Scovill backmark.

What a beauty absolute beauty that is full of history and that one as a back Mark that I didn’t know they had. I was metal detecting a fort in New Orleans when I found my first Script “I”
pewter button with nothing in the middle of the circle.
And a amazing thing happened just last week a year ago I found this piece of whatever and I put it in my jar of pieces of whatever. This is what I found
Well last week for some reason mainly boredom I was looking through this particular jar and I picked up that piece and for some strange reason I took some nose grease and rubbed what I thought was the back and this is what I saw it was a truly unbelievable moment when you found out you’ve had something that you didn’t know you’ve had for that long. This Fort has produced a lot of AMAZING things for me but finding something that I thought was nothing that was some thing and saving it for some unknown reason from the Revolutionary War was amazing.
Congratulations on your beautiful piece of American history
