Off the Coat condition FENCIBLES button!

[Iron Patch]

Perth Highland Fencibles (1794-1802)


So I was back to the field where I dug the nice Rev War 76th officer's button and only found a few more buttons, but this was one of them! I never imagined the great condition on the 76th could be the rule and not the exception, but it is for at least one more!

To briefly explain why these are found together, in 1779 the 76th was moved to Perth, then shortly after sent to America to fight in the Revolution. In Oct., 1781 the regiment was captured in the Siege of Yorktown and then returned home at the end of the war in 1783, and disbanded at Stirling Castle (not far from Perth) in 1784. It was after that the solider, or maybe soldier and son, made their way to North America and settled the corner of the field I've been hunting.

So you make the banner with a stunning button, and then you go dig an even nicer example?! That’s incredible and congratulations! Whew, beautiful

Astounding condition! Having seen the dug condition of this one it's impressive the improvement you have managed to accomplish with the restoration.

Those buttons were made to last! Not like the junk us 2018 future people make

What a find!

Yeah this one sort of creates a little confusion as the one that's on the banner is mostly there because the 76th was a huge contributing factor.... and because my last banner was a very similar 76th button, Jeff put the fencibles up. But now that I have a new nicer fencibles button it seems messed up. So the only thing to do is to replace the one that's up top now with the 76th and then beside it put this new fencibles button.

At any rate, you're finding high quality buttons. I know you're a button guy so I'm happy you're still finding exceedingly awesome ones. I hope your fall season streak continues!

Exactly. I'm over the moon to have a start to Fall like this, and from a field where I just didn't see multiple military coming out, never mind how nice some of them have been. Ironically, the best, the Rev War Loyalist King's American 2nd issue officer button is basically already down the page and gone. As for the banner, whatever! If I make it or if I don't, doesn't matter, I just want IH and myself to have a great Fall digging.

Great button save. Congrats

 

[RelicMedic]

Killer find bud! Kudos on the cleaning and preservation! In my opinion, that button should be up top as well. Back to back hunts with back to back rare and incredible relics. Congrats!!

 

[DownNDirty]

Wow, a button to beat the banner!! When it rains it pours, eh?
