Hey everyone,
I found this button a while back in a field that I know there was a lot of rev war activity. In the same field I found 25+ Musket balls and some early buckles. I was just wondering if this button could be linked to the rev war activity somehow or if it is simply a civilian button. It appears to be cast and pewter and has/had a long shank. Not sure if my eyes are playing tricks on me but I think I see the #30 on the face of it. The button is 10mm in diameter but was probably more like 11mm when it was lost. Thanks and let me know what you think!
Ben

Thanks! Yep I too believe it is cast pewter. Hopefully someone will know if I can link it to the rev. war somehow.

It looks correct for the period but I can't see anything that would attribute it to the war. There just isn't enough left of it...

If you think there is a 30 on it, research your area for the 30th Regiment of Foot.
