I dug this today at a farm that was a muster field for the militia from the mid 1700s until 1835.

We don't usually find these up north so I wanted to see what the experts have to say.

From my research I believe it is from the USA Militia Regiment from the revolutionary war.

My questions.... What do you think... real or fake?

I have found half, 1 and 2 reales, 3 capped bust dimes and a capped bust half dime, 20+ large cents and countless flat buttons. I also found a British royal Artillery button from the war of 1812 in this same field.

I have to say it surely is a dream spot.

According to Alberts book I think it looks like one that shows it was made in the 1970s.

Definitely modern. Probably lost by a reenactor.

Agree. Reenactor button. From the bicentennial possibly. Still a cool find IMO.

With all the 150th Civil War stuff from the last 2 1/2 years, I'm seeing a few CW reenactment bits coming in to our monthly club meetings.
