    Revolutionary War British Encampment Buttons?

    I went out on a field on the Crown Point Road in Vermont which was the site of a British encampment. The site was apparently at the 20 mile point on the way to Fort Ticonderoga from Charlestown, NH. I found a couple of buttons that I can't Id and would like some help. Also one other whatzit. Thanks for any input.

    Wow those are some beautiful finds.

    I wish I could help you ID them, I am more of a finder and less of an ID'r.

    GL in the ID, will be watching this post out of curiousity.

    Oh btw, I would post these in the "What is it?" forum. I bet you will get a quick response there.

    The top two look like WW1 German buttons.
