found a camp site!

[birdman]

It has been a good week! A friend of mine has done a lot of research on old battle fields around here .He had a good idea where there might be a camp site. We went today and searched for most of the day . We found a few things and right before it was time to leave we started finding dropped musket balls. Then I pulled a small French button,after doing a jig I started hunting again and I dug a 1792 French silver coin about the size of a dime. Wow what an amazing time! On the way to the car I dug a 27th regiment button!! I am still on cloud 9. The place is about an hour away and time is hard to come by but we have just hit a small part of the area so I am pretty excited. I have found some other stuff that I will post later when I have more time. Hope all is well and hh.

Nice finds birdman.

A 1792 silver is a old one. Good luck in the future

For the 27th line regiment you should take a look here (though a french site, it offers good informations on all regiments of that time):http://www.drapeaux.org/France/Empire_1/27_Ligne.htm

By the way PBK came through again,the coin is not French it is Swiss . They were Prussian allies. Not sure what it was doing in a French camp . It could have been lost at anytime.

Coins in this time had a wide circulation, I found at the site of a French camp of this time /1790s near Wiesbaden coins from Spain, England and even Sweden.
