My best Revolutionary War hunt so far. Nice relics of Burgoyne's Army.

Went on a hunt to one of my favorite Revolutionary War spots. It's a long 3-4 hours drive but it was well worth it. Other than a ton of musket balls, found two beautiful British enlisted soldier's buttons of 20th and 53rd Regiment of foot from the Burgoyne's campaign 1776-1777.

I believe it's the first time I find two Revolutionary War buttons on the same hunt. Their condition is a welcome bonus so I couldn't be happier.
Thanks for the comments.

Those Rev war buttons look so classy.
I can’t imagine the story they have to tell.
Excellent hunt
