Found it on a military site:

"R L" up top?
A "2" circled with leaves or something

My wife's first question is if it's worth anything. My first answer is always "no".

It's actually a 2 regt "regiment of artillerist" 1812 button.
So it's a script RA
Tough button to dig
Good catch

 

[shawninNY]

It is RA not LA? Ok cool is it possible to have just an A

It is RA not LA? Ok cool is it possible to have just an A

Sure is
There are 1,2,3 regt of script A buttons

 

[jamesbibb]

This one is definitely a script RA.

 

[shawninNY]

I remember just A 2 from what I found are they the same regiment RA / A ?

 

[Scrappy]

Sure is There are 1,2,3 regt of script A buttons

You guys are awesome! Was this regiment stationary at forts or did they travel?

I located mine at an old farm field , and open lot near very old church , neither where lost in battle because my area of Long Island saw no action! Although those spots could have been muster areas, I personally feel the where lost sometime after the war when people still wore there uniforms on Sundays and special occasions. Jim seems to have more info about specific Regis.
