Another Rifle Band And A Very Early Decorated Button In The Field

[bookfisher]

I'll tell ya, this field is getting tough to work. Spent almost 3 1/2 hours there today and only found another rifle band, an early (possibly 18th century) decorated button and a plain 19th century button. I've been hitting it just about every day for the last week to 10 days, so maybe I should give it a rest for a week and then go back.

Hi Jake, No idea, since I have no expertise with military items or firearms.

Neat stuff, WTG!!!
They sure don't make' em like that anymore, do they?
A simple little ring to hold a strap, and it looks like a piece of art...
Good luck & Happy hunting~
