The Artillery is coming (War of 1812)...or at least their Buttons & Buckles

Went back to the site of the 1746 George II and other items. Found some neat buttons. The corps buttons are from the war of 1812 and the one with the eagle on the cannon is c.1814-1821. The last one was found working the yard realllllly sloooooooow. I love finding old buttons.

Don, Very nice buttons, I love finding ones with a design on them. Look at this one I found in NJ on May 22 (see my post). Exactly like yours. It was the only thing I found in that crop field that day.

Jabbo, they do look like they are identical. I'm still waiting for that inaugural button. I did find a nice early navy button shown here.

That artillery button is awesome! Nice find. I found a war of 1812 rifle regiment button myself. My fav find.
