Finds of a 10th regiment of foot button and what I was told is a sword hook a couple years ago.

These were found near a fort in Michigan. Also found shoe buckles and other things.

The hook was encrusted with thick rust. I soaked it in white vinegar and this how how it cleaned up.

I was digging a lot of iron in one spot and button showed up.

Was using a CoinStrike.

Nice!

You said that button was nice the other day Rick..

Thats an understatement..

AWESOME BUTTON !!!!Great piece of History..!!

I'm Jealous of it!

I've never found a numbered British button..I've got some pre Numbered officer style 1730's-1740's period but never a Number ..Numbered are high on my list..

Very nice! Rare button for sure, a fine to be proud of. The hook is a nice find too, real beefy looking.

Congrats,
