British 60th Regiment of Foot Button

[steelheadwill]

Hello All,
This was my first signal of the day. When I flipped it out
I assumed it was a British button from the American Revolution era, but the condition gave me 2nd thoughts, 8 hours later, I'm home and I've got a positive ID. It's the real deal: A British 60th Royal American Regiment of Foot circa 1774, 24 MM

I also got a nice civilian pewter, and a thin Seated Dime
Maybe 1842/1847,
some other stuff too,
can't type anymore, I've just dug my best find to date.
HooWee, Best Digs to You All!

So are you still on your button high? The better ones I have found kept me good for at least a week... the really good ones content for maybe a month. I still do find them once in a while but it's always something I dug before so not quite the lasting joy. But still a good feeling when you put it in perspective.

Ahhh, I Dreamed of battling Redcoats last night
Still on the button high, but I also had visions of a Quintuple Soveriegn buried deep in the mud, I'll post when I get back

Greetings Hispan, and thanks
I've been looking online (and wishing for a Troiani book), for a description of a '60th Regiment of Foot' uniform,
I found a '52nd', they are described as Grenadiers.
Was the 60th grenadiers, Fusiliers, Guards, or what else?
From the image, I'm thinking this would be a button from the trim of the topcoat.
I know, many questions about an old button, but this inquiring mind would Love to know.
I would very much appreciate anyones input
Thanks & Great Digs to All
