War of 1812 Rifleman's "Bugle" Button, Crossed Cannons Insignia, & 3 1/2 Largies
Hey Guys, these are my recent finds from the past couple days since being back from vacation! We had a really heavy rain come through and decided to head back out to
some spots that were good to us but were as dry as deserts. The rain EASILY gave us 2-3 more inches and I was able to save the Nice Eagle "I" below. Pulled quite a
variety of items and had a really fun time, I hope you guys like the pics and the finds
Finds Fresh from the Pouch:
War of 1812 Rifleman's Button ("RIFLE" Stamped in middle of Bugle)
Cross Cannons Artillery Insignia
Uniformed Services ~ Army > United States Army Branches (Insignia and Plaques) > Coast Artillery (Obsolete)
Coast Artillery (Obsolete)
Branch Insignia
"Two crossed field guns, gold colored metal, with a scarlet oval with a gold projectile at the intersection of the field guns, thirteen-sixteenths of an inch in height overall.
Crossed cannons (field guns) for Artillery have been in continuous use since 1834, when they were placed on regimental colors, knapsacks, and as part of the cap insignia for Artillery officers. In 1901, the Artillery was divided into Coast and Field Artillery and the branch insignia was modified by the addition of a plain scarlet oval at the intersection of the cannons. The Field Artillery insignia approved on 17 July 1902 had a gold wheel on the red oval and the Coast Artillery had a gold projectile on the red oval."
Very Pretty Gilted Eagle "I"
1820's Lewis and Tome's 1-Piece Eagle Artillery (Beautiful Button, wish the front was as nice as the back...they often come out like this...with the backs nicer than the fronts)
1858 Flying Eagle Cent
(Detail is better than shown. Letting oil soak on the surface in pic)
