Another winner of the Equinox!!! And man that is a gorgeous gorgeous button. Wow I would have passed out. See on old sights/parks you gotta check those 16-17. You never know.
Thanks guys. When it came out I thought it was a nice gilted civilian, then i saw the cannon ball stack and I ripped my headphones off and ran to my digging buddy. I thought I had my first war of 1812 button, but after a little research, I learned the corps were formed just after. Either way, Its a looker, and another first for me.
Ive had my equinox for about a year and a half and im still learning its language. Ive got all of the coils, but have left the 15" on for the last 6 months and have been able to cover a lot more ground and my finds totals are UP.
Incredible. I found a button with that much gold gilt (see my avatar), and then found its brother-button sitting a few feet away. So go back and search!
Anyway, congrats! The gilt is beautiful, but I love that cannon.
That button is incredible. I would be stoked to find that with 0% Gilt! With that much gilt it's on some other level of awesome. And a shank to boot? This button has it all! It's also seen some serious history. I wish to find something of that caliber some day!!!
