Hi everyone,

Again, since I didn't have a chance to share it on Treasurenet. Just wanted to share with you my recent Revolutionary War, War of 1812 buttons finds. Found a few great sites around Montreal and hunted them until the last good signal (but sure will try again). Most of those found are flat ones or not in great a shape so I'll show only the the best preserved military ones. Some of those sites also produced lots of musket balls, a few cannon balls and some other militaria.

Thanks again for the comments.

Nice buttons. What is the elephant button, and the eagle with a shield button? Is that a R in the shield for Rifleman?
I was able to hunt a british 1812 era site a few times. Ended up with a couple fouled anchor Royal navy buttons and a Royal Sappers and miners button.
My buddy pulled a couple of those artillery's like u posted. I always wanted one of those.

Thank You!

24th
53rd
60th
possibly 37th

War of 1812
76th Regiment of Foot (with elephant)
13th's
Marines
Royal Artillery

All buttons are from British regiments except for the eagle one. I'm not a big connoisseur of buttons to say the truth. Perhaps Iron Patch can help as he's the one who helped me ID their time period.
