Found a colonial site over the weekend. Here is my Saturday and Sunday finds..

First of alI I found these two pewter buttons on Sunday with theses symbols. Wonder if anyone have some info on these?? Cuff size.


Saturday finds. 3 to 4 hours of digging.



Sunday finds. Few hours of digging.

Nice stuff. The two pewter buttons appear to be of American design. I have not seen that on the face before. Maybe someone else will chime in.

There is no back marks at all, it's slick on the back.

Come on guys/gals. I've been bragging about the experts here on T-Net Tentis is a member in a group on Facebook, and when he posted his finds I couldn't think of anywhere else to send him for information. These look like possible Revolutionary unit buttons, but I could be wrong....

Those look more like old bale or cloth seals to me. The ampersand or “88” stamps are quite crude, even for a rev war item. I may be wrong but that’s my take. Regardless, looks like a nice site you’ve discovered there.

Ok. I been told those are infinity mark and they were used on "common"clothes. Coat buttons, on normal coats. I'm not 100% though.

This looks to be a saddle shield decoration, very nice.
