Haitian Phoenix button

[McCDig]

Went to two parks in Baltimore City today and, in the last hour of the time out, ran into some military buttons: a 1-piece convex Phoenix regiment button from Haiti (c. 1810) and a U.S. Navy 2-piece, Albert 112 (pre-1850). Also scored a little silver today.
Inscription around the Phoenix button is "Je Renais De Mes Cendres", or "I am reborn from my ashes". Button was made in England for military under Henri Christophe of Haiti. My dug button is shown left of an example of a Type 2 Queens Regiment No. 2, which I believe mine is as well!

So awesome! Great find. I was lucky to be with my buddy when he found one on the beach here near Seattle last year.
