This makes two days in a row that I've found Regiment buttons dating back somewhere in the late 1700's-1800's. The 40th regiment button is in Awesome condition! Todays Musketball is the biggest of the 4 that I've found here in Italy. I think the two rectangle items in the pictures are buckles or straps for something. I will continue to research all the items in the pics. If y'all can identify any items, please send the link along with it.... All help is always appreciated!!!

Really nice bunch of old finds.

I envy you Europeans. You guys have those really ancient sites that we just don't have in the states.

That's funny, you've got me pegged as a European already... I don't think I classify as a European since I haven't been in Italy for one year yet... BTW... I like your profile pic... I love to play the guitar!!! I play a mini Martin... I travel a lot as an American Soldier... I have to tell ya that the finds here are just AWESOME.... I call these old finds, but they call them recent... lol...
