12 little canons

[Badfrog]

Returned to my favorite site this evening with new settings on my XLT. I decided to move a couple of branches that were in the way just beside the spot were I had already found 5 coppers. Well, it was worth it. Say hello to four more Royal Artillery buttons.

Two seem to be cuff buttons. One is flat and might be pewter.

The two in the back are the other ones I had found on previous outing. All are complete and have some differences. I'll be going back for sure !

How many were worn on the uniforms? Sounds like your site may have them all. Go back! Post more tomorrow!

Nice buttons, badfrog. Canada seems to produce military buttons at the rate that we, here in the States, find flat buttons. What kind of coppers did you find?

Nice buttons

 

[Badfrog]

What kind of coppers did you find?

Of the five, only one was fully readable and it was a Hibernia 1782. The others were in bad shape but two were George III Britania, one was George II and the last was blank.

From the info I found, it's a pattern used in the 1790-1802 period.

Those buttons are just awesome I can see why you consider it your favorite site. If the copper coins weren't cool enough to post what other goodies did you find
