Revolutionary War 60th (Royal American) Regiment of foot button. 1775 Halfpenny

[Aureus]

Well I guess it was a Revolutionary War kind of hunt. Got back to exploring the shores of St-Lawrence (near Montreal) as my fields don't seem eager to trow at me their treasures this year. A bit of a slow day with very little finds but just before the dark got my very first complete 60th Regiment of foot (Royal Americans) coat sized button. An absolutely beautiful color! Than a few feet away, deep in the mud a 1775 George III Britannia Halfpenny (a counterfeit) also very well preserved. Always wanted to find a 1775 British coin for my collection and being able to find it next to a beautiful Rev War button is an absolute cherry on the cake!

A great little hunt!

Says the guy with the awesome Luckenbooth brooch...lol. Thanks man! Hope you have some more amazing finds like the one you posted. But honestly I don't post every hunt I have, some days are slow and the fields are hiding their treasures from me a bit better this year. Hope they give me something interesting before the snow!

Congratulations on finding a Rev War button in such fantastic condition-and the halfpenny as well. You had a great day!

That is a beautiful Rev War Royal Americans button. The mud and water really helped out with that one as it did with KGIII. You might want to get an expert opinion on that one because I believe those denticles around the rim are indicative of a Machins Mills counterfeit. However the only 1775 listed is a Vlack 4-75A, and the kings head is different. Maybe IP can chime in.

Both of those things could possibly turn up here, but never look like that! I like when I find something and thing... ok, never need to dig another one of those because it won't get any better.
