1798 Draped bust. buttons..silver.ext..

[Vino]

So finally had a day to hunt longer then a hour...I had alot of fun.
Even Treblehunter came up for a little bit.
Although he left to soon...Right after he left I pulled the draped bust out.
I love hunting areas were there was foot traffic for hundreds of years. .
The best find for today was a button that has RP on it with a crown..Its made of pewter I belive its from the revaluationary war. It was found were the British was camped...Hope its the real deal...
Anyway I have lots of pics...enjoy. and
HH...George

Thanks Dave.

Hey George.... I'm pretty sure that pewter button is a Royal Provincials button. It is sideways in the picture, but I can clearly see the RP. Whether its real or re-enactment, I don't know but cool find!! That LC is awesome!!!

Thanks Aaron. ..
I think this new place has alot of goodies waiting there..

Just figured out how to reply on my app on the new phone
I knew i found one of those slugs the last time we were in that field. Check out that next to a new 12 gauge sabot

Unfortunately re-enactment.

IP, do you ever deliver good news lol?
Good luck in the new place George. If the goodies are there, I know the CTX and Deus will sniff them out. I think you and Brad would look good on tv in the same time slot as AD![emoji342]

Nice buttons and your Large Cent in very good condition. Not sure if you attributed the variety of the 1798, so darn many of them, but seeing it appears to have a rim break at RTY on the Obverse and it seems to have to center dots on the reverse, I believe it is a Sheldon 173 variety, which is usually ID'd by those two attributes I mentioned. Dots hard to see, so not 100%, but all does seem to match. Don
