🥇 BANNER Pewter USA Buttons

[G.A.P.metal]

I found two pewter USA buttons today in a field near 1/4 mile from the Indian village of Catherine`s Town wiped out by Gen. Sullivan in 1779, i think these buttons are period.
I also found a dropped three ringer,we don`t see many of these this far north .
Found a lot of beer cans and iron too.

Congratulations Gary,

You've sealed them now, but I haven't seen mention here of putting them in a small case so they can be handled without fingers touching them. Even with the greatest care, eventually handling will degrade them. And an air tight case will keep environmental factors at bay.

Keep the faith!

Great find! I've often wondered what could be left from the Sullivan Campaign. Congratulations on your Banner find! Something like 235 & 1/2 years in the ground, covered in snow and frozen every year and still makes the Banner. Awesome!

 

[Goldiver]

Wow, two pewter USA's with intact loops in one day? You lucky dog! Maybe you stumbled into a picket post or campsite. Looking forward to seeing more finds from that site.

Thanks it was a thrill to see what i had in the field, actually got a chill/rush.
All most all the equipment i used to find these Continental Buttons i got from Your shop.
So glad you twisted my arm and made me get the T2 LTD2 ....you told me the T2 was the best for my hunting conditions .
Man were you spot on .

Not fingers you have to worry about, it's dropping them to a hard surface. Even just a few inches can do a damage, a foot and you're likely in trouble.
