Pewter button with LS?

[VirginiaBikeGirl]

Found in an area that saw French and Indian War, Revolutionary War, and Civil War troops. LS or FS? Seems to be lead or pewter.

Not bad considering my good detector is broken, and I was using one of my cheap and limited folding detectors.

Additional info. I found this in the area where the only Union militia in present day Virginia was formed. They were called the Loudoun Rangers (Scouts). I wonder if it means Loudoun Scouts?

I don’t know anything about your button. The back shank looks like it could be modern? It’s cool find either way. Maybe someone will know something.

Well done on the buttons, what happened to your Legend? Truth be told, it's not the weapon it's the warrior! Thanks for posting.

It wasn't charging the internal battery. Now, it won't turn on at all. I opened a ticket with Nokta and I'm waiting to hear back.

Could be. I had high hopes, not so much now.
