My Favorite Kind of Find, Old and Military. Late 1700s Light Infantry Hat Badge

[romeo-1]

I got out for a couple hours today to a site that had been hunted extensively but it's a huge site which contains several cellar holes. The site was a large community consisting of French, British and even a couple Americans! The community did not last past the start of the 1800s so the vast majority of the finds date to this time.

Finds today were a nice, near complete barrel tap, a 1749 George II Farthing and a strung bugle badge which has yet to be identified. I'm confident that it dates to the late 1700s but there are no markings so difficult to say for sure. Any ideas?

Thanks IH! I'm hoping to get out with both you and IP this year...

There's still the Summer & Fall hunt!

Maybe a fall hunt but "little man" will be taking my summer!

Summer is tough anyway. Fall ... well you know!
