Title: And Here's My Finds From Sunday
Post by: roughneck on April 03, 2018, 02:45:07 PM
Hi Folks
Following on from Rons post, I've added my photos.  If anyone can help, ID on the button please.  We had a good day weather wise and not too bad a finds day.  Loads of the usual buttons and bullets, a few grotty Roman and Georgie coins and some bits & pieces.  Ron had the only bit of silver for the day with his nice Lizzie 1st sixpence. We're now looking forward to next weekend when I'm sure we will hit the fields again.  Cheers and Happy Digging !!!  Tom.

Well found, interesting finds Tom.
Sorry I drew a blank on the button. Nearest I got was Light Dragoon’s but couldn’t find one exactly the same.
Looks like you’ve got a couple of weights mixed in there. Little one could be an Apothecaries weight, nice.

Hi Tom,
 Your button is Napoleonic to the 1st Dragoon Guards 1796-1816. Hope this is of help. Martin.
