[treblehunter]

I finally made it out this morning for couple hours and managed a couple buttons. Last time I detected was a couple weeks ago in Lake Ontario, found a bunch of musket balls.
Here is a pic of them.


Here are pix of the two buttons, Sorry the dirty and clean pix are all mixed up and the two different button pix are all mixed up.
One is a Seal of Phila. button the other is a Phila Police button the respective backmarks are, Seal of Phila.--- Horsmann Bros & Co. and Phila Police---- W. A. Smethurst Phila

Yes, Sackets Harbor is close to Watertown which is close to Kingston, ON.
I live about 100 miles west of Kingston, lots of War of 1812 activity in that region of our countries, being so close to the border.

Last summer I hit the same spot in the water where I found all those musket balls this summer. I found two buttons and a bunch of musket balls last summer. One of the buttons was a pewter US button.

I detect in the Eastern part of our province every spring and summer following the harvest.
My buddy has found a GW Button and I've found a bunch of US related War of 1812 relics.
I found 4 War of 1812 buttons on one site...in total we found 10 British Sappers and Miners buttons in a 30' x 30' area.
Here's a pic of the buttons, the site and a New York baggage tag I found there.
Best of luck to you Brad and keep cool.
