Here is the good one!!!

[ironhorse]

I know we all try to find "the big one" well today I found the little one, cuff size Rev War officers button !! I've found examples of this button before but none with condition and remaining gilt like this one. There's tons of good info out there on The Kings American Regiment, I'm just glad we had them around here all that time ago. Now the story... me, Iron Patch and Patriot were out today kicking some dirt around, we looked at a few fields but with crops still in and hunters leases keeping us from detecting much we decided to hit a couple of old sites that were available but our prospects were low, but we kept saying it only takes one good one!
I was lucky enough to pick up a couple of coppers at one site just as we were leaving and the button was the one and only button I dug at the other nearby old site we ended the day on. Others have dug these buttons on this site and many other detectorists have walked the field hoping for one too ( isn't that right Romeo ) today was my turn I guess. I'll be happy to keep and display this one!
ps, one of the coppers I dug was an Evasion copper from UK, appartently not common in the colonies, part of the script in the legend reads ADOLPHUS ,lucky twice ! I think I'll get a lottery ticket

Can I come & hunt Dirtyville ?

it ain't easy finding this here or anywhere, simple answer yes, I always say the finds are in the fields, just gotta be there with them

another funny thing, we were talking about a trip south to see some of you guys next fall and perhaps steal away some goodies maybe , we could do a trade

I am willing to send you next week if they want you. In return I'll take someone who uses a 25 year old Garrett. Ah the good old days.

That button turned out to be a real killer...I wish you had before picture to compare it with what it looks like now... I've also had that KAR button on my mind like Romeo for about 5+ years now! Told the Iron Bros I wouldn't mind hunting over some KAR dirt but forgot to mention that I wanted a button too

BANNER!! for that rare button!!!!

You pulled a good button out in style, horse. I feel bad for Iron Patch these days...........


































NAH! Keep smacking him around!

[Theakiki]

I want a history lesson related to this great button!

I love history, and the antiquities associated with it, and I think that is my main raw to detecting!

Is this a group of Britons, or a group of Americans (Colonists) that had loyalty to the King? Or something different.

Congratulations,
Waiting with baited breath! ( I ought to floss)

You better be shaking. There is going to be a Kirk Jr. in a few months. I will teach him all about Colonial. By 2015, you are going to have two of us to try to conquer/own. Owned!

No doubt, the broken Colonial buckle probably won't fall far from the shoe.
