The British are coming! The British are coming! First Rev War button + CW and more!

[Stef45]

Back to the new colonial site this weekend and it did not disappoint. So far this site has checked off 2 bucket listers for me. The first was the Capped Bust and now it gives me my first Rev War button. VMI dug an almost identical 82nd regiment of foot as the one I dug. Glad what is left of the button is the center thats for sure. Still very ecstatic!



Was able to dig two infantry CW buttons as well! One Union and one Confederate! This is my first Confederate block I and i'm not sure about the back mark...can't really make anything out.



I dug a bunch of buttons once again. One is very interesting. At first we thought we might have seen it on the GW inaugural button site. Tell me what y'all think. Theres another button with an eagle on the back, which are cool to find. There are a couple of tiny two piece buttons that I can't get the crud off as well. So who knows what those could be...



Was finally able to dig a nice buckle from the site...



Surprisingly, we haven't really dug many modern coins at all. Nothing younger than IHP's really. So digging two Buffs (one 1937) and a 1944s Merc was a pleasant surprise.



Dug my first silver Thimble! Has a little 2 marked on it (thats the size right?) Also dug this interesting thing...someone tell me its something amazing!



Among all the shell edge and other porcelain/pottery, I dug this really nice piece with a child depicted on it.



Need help with this ID as well...it feels real old to me just not sure what it might be.



Last but not least, what I believe to be a British made Brown Bess butt plate. Tell me if I'm wrong. Who knows, might have belonged to the guy from the 82nd Regiment of Foot missing 2 buttons!



Thanks for looking y'all! Thanks in advance for any Id's. Good luck out there!

Yes sir. We still haven't really branched out too much from a relatively small area too. Who knows what else we will stumble upon. Thanks for looking.

There is a British broad arrow symbol under the screw hole on back of butt plate. I have a few pieces with same symbol, including an intact Brown Bess side plate. Congrats on the wonderful finds... Love that 82nd. !

Thanks Keith! Thats what people are saying about the butt plate. Pretty cool to find two British rev war relics not too far away from each other.

I assume you knew that the yellow slip-ware shard is late 17th-early 18th C?
