Got a good one yesterday! I found a a rare eagle V button with a lot of history behind it! The elite Regiment of Voltigeurs (hence the V) and Foot Riflemen was a one-year regiment of the United States Army raised during the Mexican-American War. It was active in 1847 and 1848 (disbanded in August) So, this Button was only in use one year by one regiment. This is the only relic I have found from the Mexican War. I also found a few more relics including a nice tootsie toy
