(New Photo!) War of 1812 Butttons with CarolinaTom
(Thanks to Tom - Much better photo)...Great visit to the War of 1812 site. CarolinaTom drove 6 hours - way to go, dude. So we get there and I try to send him the best way where I think the beach area erosion will have left buttons (usual good finds) and musket balls, but he goes down there, turns around and comes back. So I go down there and crawl around (takes some ducking and crawling in places and, bang, I hit a large size (coat) RR button. I go a bit further and get a first ever for me - cannon with eagle on top and "Corps" below. I had a really good vid of the RR where I talk about trying to send Tom that way as I found the button, it was pretty funny, but the vid won't post. He's heard the video too many times and might strangle me. Luckily, he had good finds too...ok, these sideways photos...I'll have to keep the camera upright. Rookie mistake.
