Got out today for a spur of the moment brief hunt on Long Island, NY. Went back to a place that has produced lots of things from coins, buttons, and relics ranging from the late 1700's through late 1800's. Didn't have much other than some square nails and a button. After this button was dug, I could see a nice design and some writing so I put it in my coin pocket in my jeans till I was able to take a closer look at home. I gave it a quick brush and see most of the lettering and started to do some searching on google. Come to find out what I had shoved in my little pocket was a 1781-1783 Dragoons button from the Revolutionary War, worn by a British Loyalist. Been trying to do some reading and research and came across a few articles. Never sell anything I find but wondering if anyone here might know the rarity and/or value of these. Does not seem to be too many of them found or in existence.
