45 th regiment Button !!!!

[Whatdayagot]

When I started detecting nearly 3 yrs ago I wanted to find a rev war button and 1800 silver coins(of course gold coins would do ) I didn't find any 1800 silver till this year when I just happened to dig my first a 1878 Morgan silver dollar I was amazed it wasnt until the other day I got my second another bucket lister 1835 capped bust quarter today at the same property I got off to a slow start because of some work being done at the house my first find a nice 1851 large cent then a nj copper which is coming out nice I'll post better pics when it's looking better but to cap the night off I've been doing his property not only for coins but for rev war stuff . Tonight I found my first rev war button 45 th regiment button in great condition!!!!! Not only is it rev war its local militia not from my town but a adjoining county GW thought the British were going to attack West Point so by rapid march out of New Jersey into ny and set up camp and stayed approx three weeks some troops stayed longer they were scattered all over and I haven't been able to find a button until tonight! I am stoked hope u like it as much as I do!

Thanks for better pictures.
I'm now sure its not a Rev War period Button. I'm not even sure its a Button at all. Problem is, I'm struggling to ID it. Maybe a railroad carriage seal or electrical box seal, or maybe one of the window numbering tags/markers;

It's a lead bag seal, I have found similar

Looks like a bale or railroad lead seal of some type, while I'm sure it's disappointing rest assured they are still out there waiting to be dug. Keep at it and I'm sure you'll see one in the plug

Unfortunately not a button--but still might be interesting.

Congrats on the finds! Could I see a better photo of the letter S you dug (both sides)?
