My best Revolutionary War hunt so far. Nice relics of Burgoyne's Army.

[Aureus]

Went on a hunt to one of my favorite Revolutionary War spots. It's a long 3-4 hours drive but it was well worth it. Other than a ton of musket balls, found two beautiful British enlisted soldier's buttons of 20th and 53rd Regiment of foot from the Burgoyne's campaign 1776-1777.




I believe it's the first time I find two Revolutionary War buttons on the same hunt. Their condition is a welcome bonus so I couldn't be happier.
Thanks for the comments.

I can understand them sometimes. If the spot is well known he must have people coming every few months asking for the permission. He doesn't want his land to become a lunar landscape. I'm not even talking about the people that don't even ask for a permission and just go in, there are some like that in the hobby, they make life difficult for everyone and make the permission asking way harder.
