Is that American or British? What year?

British Army....maybe Rev?

Very cool find!

Stay Safe up there!

Here is some more info on your British Rev War button. Great find!

To consolidate, it is a Revolutionary War period British 60th Regiment of Foot. They were here prior to the Revolution. They were known as the Royal Americans. Yours is really, really nice. Yours is also more of one of the more common varieties of the button and many have been found both in NY and down south. Way to go.

I'm 99% sure all is OK, but can we see the reverse to clinch it?

Excellent, you have a top specimen button.
This condition is hard to top, it may never be repeated. (unless you have magical soil!)

Looks like you made a really incredible and historic find! Is that also ghetto nectar!?
