4 old coins and possible royal artillery button

[trapperart]

Went back to the spot I found in the woods day before yesterday. Found 3 more coppers a slick, a KG another draped bust and a V nickel. The button I cleaned looks like it could be an old royal artillery. I see the cannon. Your opinions Welcome. The area has war of 1812 history. Good luck to all. Art The 2 coppers bottom left are from Tuesday.

I don't think it is a royal artillery, but possibly a Continental Artillery which is even better. The cannon wheel is on the right of the button, and there looks like a flag in the right place too.

Nice collection of oldies. I would consider that very successful day. It would be great if you got a couple of pictures of the finds before you "cooked" them. For me I don't care as much for that clean, pitted metal look and it would be nice to see the before pics.

Sometimes I do get the before pics I'll try to do better about it.

Very nice. At least you can make out something on the button. Wish it was clearer. But I am sure you will take it. Congrats
