More Seminole War Relics as requested!

Donneybrook · Jul 3, 2013

These are just a few more of the US army artifacts i've unearthed through my archaeological investigations. Pics one and two are of the pipes fragments i've found. #3 is one the buckles, which i've put in electrolysis and are now fully functional. #4 are the buttons, if you look closely at the larger of the two copper button you can see the design (Any information regarding the buttons is appreciated). Finally #5 is a cork, Seminole Indian gorget (a bead basically) and a piece of hardtack! Enjoy.

P.S. Feel free to PM with any questions.

Fantastic! I'll ask around about the buttons - I know a professor who's a Seminole War historian.
