Revolutionary War 29th Regiment of foot. A beauty!

[Aureus]

Well the new permission is still giving. Really happy with this one. My best preserved pewter Revolutionary War button found in a field and not just of any regiment but the 29th. Found it less than 100 feet from my previous Rev War find, the 67th regiment of foot button from the same period.

Close to Montreal and Burgoyne's route, I think it confirms the fact that some of the 67th regiment soldiers were marching with Burgoyne's troops.



Also found a few pieces of musket (a part of a ramrod and of a buttstock) and a few dropped musketballs.




A really cool hunt!

Thanks for the comments!

That's a looker. The more I see you guys and gals post the Regiment buttons, the more I am falling in love with them. GREAT save!

Thank you.

That's fantastic. Rev. Well-preserved Rev. War buttons are hard to come by owing to their pewter content. Good for you!

 

[Aureus]

What a great looking pewter button, the soils were kind. I wish my buttons would be even close to the condition of yours. Congratulations

Thank you. Surprised with the condition as well.

Isn't this your second 29th? And both in such great condition. I posted some of what I learned about that regiment's history on that first thread...amazing ties to the pre-revolutionary tensions in Boston (including a certain pivotal conflict with civilians there in 1770) as well as rev actions.

You dig great history.

Yes. It's my second 29th. First being a cuff sized one in a much better condition. This one is from a new permission. From what I understand the design of the button is from 1773 so after the Boston massacre. But is sure the same design worn during the Revolutionary War.

Ah, thanks. I didn't look into this one as much. I appreciate the info.

WOW! Incredible button I like that ramrod guide and buttplate piece too. Sure looks like a killer site and I cant wait to see what else you pull out of there.

Thank you! Hopefully there's some more stuff left there.

Beautiful button recovery - especially for a pewter specimen.
