This one evaded me for 6 years!

Only one decent target dug in 4 hours, but man I'm glad we stuck it out! This has been in my wish list for years. Now to find an even better example. 1790s New Brunswick Provincials button. This militia was formed to protect the province after the end of the Rev War.

I'm curious who they were protecting the province from? The Americans? Surely not the British. Hmmm? Gary

Beautiful looking New Brunswick Provincials button my friend!
I've always said, "I'm more then happy to detect for 4 hours if I can only find one button."

Basically french privateers from New York and Spanish privateers. They helped to protect the coastline and river inlets during the 1790s and were made up of half pay soldiers from the Rev War.

Great find. Definitely worth the wait. Lots of interesting history behind that recovery.
