Button question

[Fernandina Scott]

Good afternoon, I’m new to Treasure Net and was wondering if anyone had any idea how old these buttons might be? I’m thinking they’re from the 1812 era, but wanted to see if anyone had better info? These were found on the Fl/Ga border in an area where ships used to dock. I’ve also found a cannonball and numerous musketballs.
Thank you so much.

Two piece buttons were popular during the Civil War era. The War of 1812 buttons I've seen are usually one piece buttons.

Thanks so much Tim. I think my pix of the back isn’t too clear, they are both one piece. I’ll include another to try and show the back’s better.
The smaller one on the left is the one with the anchor on the shield. Hope everyone has a great week!

Thank you so much for that information! I’ve read TN for a couple of years and knew there were a lot of educated people here, I should have joined back then.
