War of 1812 US Infantry Button! US Box Plate! Possible 1600's Copper!

Back to button hill today and once again it didn't disappoint. Found a total of 27 buttons, cuff links, script L wax seal stamp, two colonial buckles ones a neck stock buckle. A very beautiful US Infantry Button and a US Box plate. Strange because of the lack of CW relics found on the property that there would be a plate!! Also a possible William III 1690's Copper! After today this makes 130 buttons I've dug off the property, 256 total.
Hope you enjoy the pics and HH!

Ok..... that is just WAY too much good stuff for any human to find on one hunt. You should be ashamed. All kidding aside, I think that would be best described as an INCREDIBLE day hunting my friend. Congrats

Wonderful finds. I dug a seal at a rev war site years ago very close to the one you found (is your's pink carnelian?) . It will be interesting to see the wax impression your's makes once you've cleaned it. Again, wonderful and congratulations!

Thank you.
Wasn't expecting it! Only finding 4 fired CW billets on the property, a plate was the last thing I thought we would dig off the place.

Quality finds seem warmer when found in the areas when one would least expect them, that's what makes the hunt. Congrats on the great day out hunting and the vote is in on this one.
