Finally got to swing my coil over some ground in vermont after a loooong winter. I had a great day even though the ground was still partially frozen in a few spots but i did manage to chip these goodies out. I have been trying to get an id on this pewter button and the closest i can find is a 1812 infantry button. however this does not 100% match up, any help would be appreciated.
here is the button in question

I also found my most ornate shoe buckle to date and my first copper of the year.

Nice!!! I’ve seen that button recently but can’t remember where. Very cool though
 
Sweet shoe buckle and largie, great details in both. Someone will chime in and ID the old style eagle button for you. Congrats!
 
Looks like the button has [UNIT]ED STATES over the eagle.
 
sweet finds, thanks
 
Early 19th century US military. There were a lot of variants.
 
yes it does have united states over the eagle
 
Looks like early 19th century, maybe War of 1812 button.

Nice finds. The belt buckle is one of the most decorative have seen. You all dig up large cents out there on the east coast like we dig up Indian heads here in Nebraska...good post !
 
awesome finds!
 
nice war of 1812 Infantry button!
