I haven't made it out much this year so far but have found a nice keeper. Got a handful of 1700/1800 tokens but none pictured yet. My best button find, got to love my buttons....is this beauty and a first for me. It's a high domed British 1812 Kings Dragoon Guards button. I am hoping for another good year and can't wait to dig up a few more relics!!!

Cool, only got a couple myself Those early Military buttons make a hunt for me even with our ancient history I've always said, I don't need much just 1 good button

Nice button and in great shape too !! I have only found one of those and it was in a lot rougher shape. I gave it to a buddy in return for sharing a couple of sites with me but have not found another in over 20 years. Heading down to Niagara tomorrow to a site just north of Fort Erie.

The title given your button in the below referenced source calls it a "Pre 1812 THE 1ST. (KINGS) DRAGOON GUARDS" button.

But next to that degination it also states the button is an officer's button of 1800-1839.
In any event, it's a great button and great find !!
