Hi All! I've been working a new Colonial Cellar Hole for the past week...and went back last night with my 5.3" Coil to hit the thicker areas around the foundation...
I've already dug 23 buttons on this site...which is a new record at one area for me...and last night dug #24..an a DOOOOZiE!
It's a US Militia Button, and according to Alberts (if I am reading it correctly) it was made in London between 1798-1802. The Eagle is facing right with 17 Stars surrounding it.
The reverse reads 'Best Quality' and has a perfect shank
This is my first Militia Button dating to that time period...Yahoooooo!
