War of 1812

[hunting deer]

Hey guys, I had to post this find from last night. I've been working this spot for about four years now. I hope it keeps on giving. I'm adding a link from a button I posted in 2015. This one was crumbling away so I dabbed it with elmer glue water mix to stabilize it. http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/what/471971-unknown-eagle-button.html I've since found three more. Here's some photo's from last nights find. I google searched 1st regiment light artillery. I have to say the scripted lettering I find truly profound. I haven't altered the others in anyway, no cleaning other than lightly brushing off dirt to identify, scouts honor . I'd like to get them professionally cared for if anyone's got any tips. These are different shots of the same button. Good Hunting

Nice find. Other then rinsing in warm soapy water - I wouldn't clean them any further.

The script RA and LA buttons are a couple of my favorites. That's in great condition

Love those script war of 1812 era buttons. I was fortunate to dig a LA as well last year. The copper on your button appears stable, I'd just rise with water and apply a light coat of vasoline.
