War of 1812 US Infantry Button! US Box Plate! Possible 1600's Copper!

Back to button hill today and once again it didn't disappoint. Found a total of 27 buttons, cuff links, script L wax seal stamp, two colonial buckles ones a neck stock buckle. A very beautiful US Infantry Button and a US Box plate. Strange because of the lack of CW relics found on the property that there would be a plate!! Also a possible William III 1690's Copper! After today this makes 130 buttons I've dug off the property, 256 total.
Hope you enjoy the pics and HH!

Amazing day you had. Enjoy it while it last because sites like that do not come around very often. Without giving away too much information can you share any history for this site? Must have been a meeting house, tavern, or some encampment.

Thank you.
There's a few iron patches which is were most of the buttons are coming from. So there must have been a structure or two on the property at one time. With so many early military buttons it must have been a meeting place or a camp on this property.
