1840-1850 Ma. Militia

It's a start and at least it's military. During these years, officers and enlisted wore the same buttons. Came out pretty good with naval jelly. Lots of gilt. Hogge Variant is MS210B3 in Tices.

Nice button. Cleaned up very nicely also. Any hunt that produces an old military button is a great hunt in my opinion. Congrats!

That 2 piece came out of the dirt with a ton of gilt, the soil in your area has certainly been kind to that button. Nice dig
