Found this pewter button at a cellar hole about 200yds from another cellar hole where I found a Bloody Eight Regiment button last year. It's about the size the size of a quarter and has a #4 in the center. Any ideas if it's another Regiment? The 4th Continental Regiment and 4th Mass. Regiment both fought alongside the Bloody Eight at Bunker Hill.

Cool buttons all around, I'll keep digging around to see if I can find another but I don't know the answer off the top of my head.
 
Thanks!

I'm trying to get some books from the library. I saw the same button (worse shape) in a group of Rev War Buttons at an auction site.
 
Hi DeepBeep, you may want to check out the Pennsylvania Recessed-Center Buttons. Troiani's book shows 2; 4th reg , 24 & 19 mm, found at Valley Forge. Nice finds,Jerry
 
Thanks!

Thanks for the info! Sorry for not replying sooner, I was out of town.
 
Update:

Better pictures and an I.D. on both. Continental Army 4th Regiment (Albert's GI14-R4) and Mass. 8th Regiment (Albert's MS8-Ev)
