Thanks IronPatch. I got several flat buttons from that site, but I have not wandered out of a 20'x40' grid yet. There might be some kickin around there. I found a land grant map and a United Empire Loyalist from Boston was granted that parcel of land. Can't wait to try the other 3.75 acres! C'mon spring!!
The lot belonged to an Officer of the Commisionary Generals Department. He was actually from New Jersey. There is a fair amount of literature on him. We was also an officer in the 42nd regiment, as was his son. The fields surrounding my house belonged to a friend and fellow officer of the Loyalist that owns the land where I got the buckle. I pulled a 1753 half penny from that site before the freeze. There has to be some military buttons in there somewhere.
