This beautiful button was dug at Fort Washington, Georgia. It’s a War of 1812-era button with a nice, foliated "I" for infantry. Best of all, the button has the original shank, which is seldom the case with these when they are taken from the ground. Fort Washington was the scene of military activity as early as 1774, when a stockade was erected there. If I were going to keep this button, I would sprinkle a little dust or powder on the face. That would make the I (which is actually a very good strike) stand out magnificently. But I prefer to leave the final disposition of this relic to the new owner. These 1812-era buttons are rapidly gaining in popularity.
