US 2nd REGIMENT OF ARTILLERY BUTTON

I found this US 2nd Regiment of Artillery button about 10 miles outside of New Bern, NC today. I don't know how it made its way here but this is my oldest button.

That is a War of 1812 button that might have been carried into the civil war by someone's son or grandson, we find those buttons from first seminole war sites. I am always amazed at relics from the 1790's to the 1840's showing up at civil war sites. Amazing. It could have been a camp that you found while they were on their way down to Florida.
