Gen. Wayne Legion Pewter Button!!!

[flyinryan2]

I got out to a new spot on Friday and dug 16 buttons and a 1739 1 Reale. I went back to that spot today a dug another 25 buttons, a 1/2 Reale, 1827 Large Cent. And my first complete Jew harp. One of my last finds of this morning was the Beautiful Wayne's legion button. After confirming what it was from some friends on Facebook I was very excited to know what I have just found. Hope you enjoy the pics!

I can't find a lot of info on the button. Not a lot of other examples being dug. Not something I've seen found before. May be pretty Rare.

Superb finds and a banner worthy button, in my opinion.
