Republic of Texas Navy Cuff Button- RARE!!

[shanegalang]

I did some social distancing in a sugarcane field in Southern Louisiana with a couple of other Canefield bandits and found this button. I originally didnt think much about it as I thought I was seeing a horse shoe, thought it was a civilian button of sorts. After getting home and looking closer under magnification I saw the star so decided to bring it to my buddy Buckleboy who much more well versed in identifying relics. Once I pointed out the star he got excited and started searching online sources. His excitement grew! As did mine as he informed me of what I had! Republic of Texas Navy cuff button!Listed excavated worth-$1300! I also found an awesome first for me, a US belt plate. It's plow damaged but the majority remains including the lead back and hooks. It will be restored. Keep diggin' everybody!!!

Great finds! What an exciting button to find! The belt plate is awesome too! I hope the restoration goes well. It seems that they can work wonders when you have a good amount of it left!
