As a collector of REv WAr buttons these indeed are fantastic finds. Yes the 60th Royal American's , as Smocythecat states , were in Florida many years before the American REvolution . U know your buttons my friend and indeed a 3rd Contenental of I assume the coat size since no vests shown in Troiani's button book. Super rare button find. The 21st(Royal North Fuzileer's) is exceptional and looks to be a water find or from Florida . JUst to show the differeance between a 3rd Mass and your 3rd here are two examples. Of interest the first one dug by one of our neighbor's from the North in Quebec. Most often ground dug buttons look like your 60th unless water finds or dug in good soil like in Florida. None I was so lucky to find with my DEus. Fantastic finds and thanks for sharing and hope to see more. With me any rare American buttons are Banner and will put my vote in for u. Gary

Thanks!! Beautiful buttons!! The 3rd continental is cuff size. All of mine where found in ny at a burgoyne site. I agree doesn't get much better than finding a continental button, most people have no clue what it is or how rare it is. Hh coop

Congrats on some outstanding military buttons. I find the WW1 and WW2 Great Seal buttons, and I think I'm doing good ! I can only imagine what you felt like by finding the Revolutionary War buttons.
