Revolutionary war-1812 buttons.

Aureus · Sep 22, 2016

Hi everyone,

Again, since I didn't have a chance to share it on Treasurenet. Just wanted to share with you my recent Revolutionary War, War of 1812 buttons finds. Found a few great sites around Montreal and hunted them until the last good signal (but sure will try again). Most of those found are flat ones or not in great a shape so I'll show only the the best preserved military ones. Some of those sites also produced lots of musket balls, a few cannon balls and some other militaria.

Thanks again for the comments.

Nice buttons. What is the elephant button, and the eagle with a shield button? Is that a R in the shield for Rifleman?
I was able to hunt a british 1812 era site a few times. Ended up with a couple fouled anchor Royal navy buttons and a Royal Sappers and miners button.
My buddy pulled a couple of those artillery's like u posted. I always wanted one of those.

All buttons are from British regiments except for the eagle one. I'm not a big connoisseur of buttons to say the truth. Perhaps Iron Patch can help as he's the one who helped me ID their time period.
