1820's Artillery Militia button

Got out yesterday for a short hunt but had to stop early because my hunting buddy Tim was freezing and he was my ride :( I got an Indian & a buffalo nickel before we left though. Today was much warmer so we decided to give it another shot at an old foundation in the middle of a field and we found a few keepers. I got the button, I believe its an { Albert's AY 60 } Tim got an 1843 Large cent. The other Indian came from Tim's yard, I hit it while he was getting ready to go to the foundation site. Thanks for looking HH
