Just got in and will post an update later with my cleaned finds. I was hoping I would find a couple more French Regimental buttons at my early homesite but the last few times I had hit this spot I had been unsuccessful at locating any more. Well today the first signal I got turned out to be another small regimental turrent shank button 
. That makes 16 brass French regimental buttons that I have located at this spot!!! Things quieted down for a while and then I got into a pocket of musket balls and what I think is another 1773 Halpenny. A broken sling buckle and some miscellaneous brass followed. Just as I ws getting ready to leave I got an iffy signal but decided to dig it anyway. I'm sure glad I did! Down about 10 inches came out a pewter turrent shank button, the first I've found at this site. I am going to have to extra careful with this button because the pewter buttons crumble so easy when exposed to air. I have a feeling this button will have a regimental number on it as well! What a great day!!! I will also post my 2 buttons I found the other day that I thought were Confederate. Well they were, except not what I was expecting. I dug 2 flower buttons! So I guess I'm still at 3 Confederate buttons this year. My Rev War button count far exceeds my Civil War button count but I'm not complaining! HH Devonrex
