    Rev. War Button...

    Hey folks...I thought any of you guys interested in Revolutionary war buttons and relics might appreciate this button. I can't believe a button that is 225 years old came out of the ground looking like this. The shank is still there even. "The Kings 4th American Regiment"

    Can someone help me out with this bullet??

    I found this yesterday in an area that saw military action from Rev. War period up to war of 1812. I'm guessing it's a bullet, but couldn't say for sure. It's 1 1/6" long and 3/4" wide. It looks to have 2 rings on the bottom, and there is a lead plug in the bottom. The really odd part is the...

    Yesterdays Hunt
