My finds with Iron Patch and Ironhorse ---->update button cleaned War of 1812

[The Patriot]

UPDATE
"Well went thru my flat buttons and found the one on the bottom of this post... it was so cruddy, just seen a hint of silver gilt on it... never cleaned up quite as nice as I thought, but it is what it is...which is a officer's cuff button from the Royal Fusiliers (War of 1812). It should look like the last picture (thanks IP for the pic)"



Managed 2 days of detecting with the boys..First day for me was slow but I picked up my pace on the second day with a total of... 33 musketballs, 1 Crusty War of 1812 button, sword (dagger) piece, arrowhead, 8 copper coins mostly crusty, 2 bale seals, folded lead buzzer, 2 thimbles and 2 early spanish coins (pistareen and a quarter pistareen)... sorry the pics don't do justice to the spanish coins..

Re: My finds with Iron Patch and Ironhorse

You guys are digging up some serious history over there. Can I come? I love that Spanish silver and agree that it does not come any better for condition. Geesh, some of your junk coins would make my day out here.
Congratulations on the big finds and get back out there before that dreaded winter comes!
Thanks for making me drool,
Dave.

only found a handful of Rev War buttons and no War of 1812... Now I found 1 on each day of my last 2 day hunt...Thanks again IP and IH for making those 2 days the best in a long time...

Dude, I can tell you haven't found many 1812 buttons if you're dissapointed in that condition. There's nothing wrong with that at all and I would have rather got over it than the XV!

absolutely, positively awesome - what incredible condition - that's the kind of thing that would get anybody excited - even a non-detectorist, non-history buff etc. Congratulations.
