I was not expecting this to pop out on the very first bleep of the hunt. My first civil war anything. I live in upstate NY and things like this just don't happen everyday. 20181015_113219.jpg 20181015_113239.jpg 20181015_113324.jpg 20181015_113219.jpg 20181015_113304.jpg

I am no expert but it looks earlier than the usual two piece buttons I have seen. It looks more like an 1812 ish button. Lets see what other folks have to offer.

Nice find, those are pretty buttons, but they are 1820s NY militia buttons.

Very nice rescue. 200 yo button with the shank intact. Can't ask for much more than that on a hunt. Congrats to you Mister.
