Well, I was off early this morning in the freezing weather, but was determined to find something good today.Went to an old haunt ( Battle Field Area ) went to the beach at the bottom of the hill and recovered a few things nothing realk good to mention. 27 degrees with out the windchill so I wasn't able to stay very long. I did manage an old dress weight and a couple wheaties. 3 quarters and a couple nickels. I also SAVED this Tombac Button. Please help me ID this one. I took a few pics hoping this helps. Maybe clean it up a bit may help. At times it looks like it has a G on it off to the side,also may have the number 11 ( regiment ) ? also looks like it may have a reath around the outside. My eyes are not what they used to be. Please help. Thanks

First pic, looks like a horse and rider facing to the left side, but he is as big as the horse, and so is his nose. ;D Usually designed tombacs are in fact that design, or animals.

Are you 100% sure it's tombac?

That's exactly what I was thinking seeing the curly twist, and why I asked if he was sure it was tombac.

Here's one, and your button kinda does look like a script button. See if you can match it.

The button that I found looks just like this but not sure what REG # for sure could be a 1 or a 3
Scroll down to my very first picture you will see the barrel of the cannon to the right the top left of the wing of the eagle and the letter G to the bottom rt area. Thanks for all the help with this. Happy Hunting
