39TH FRENCH REGIMENT BUTTON, BUCKLES, BUTTONS, BALLS, A WHATZIT...

[joeyfresh]

With the wife and kid gone this weekend, Bill D. and I got out yesterday to a site he secured permission for a couple of weeks ago. The finds weren't as old as expected but I did score a few buttons and other relics. One button, that Bill identified as a French 39th regiment button, was dug towards the end of the day. I'm still not sure of the period though. I was hoping Rev War but a Google search comes up blank on this regiment. Any help would be much appreciated. I also need help ID'ing the large broken brass relic in my hand. Thanks!!

Thats a really nice Rev War button Joey, in excellent condition. I found a couple of different French regimental buttons on the Peninsula, evidently they got around. Nice hunt!
