The temperature has been above freezing the past three days, the fields thawed and some of the snow has melted off. Between 3 hours and 2 night hunts, this button is the only keeper I found but it was great being out there detecting. The button looks to be a French military button,
possibly 1790ish, I really have no idea but the French were here in this area then. Here's the obverse.

The reverse, top inner legend reads "AM 8 or & C", at the 09:00 and 03:00 positions are a miniature of the obverse and the bottom inner legend says "PARIS". I don't get too excited over buttons but military buttons are special. Any ID help would be appreciated. HH and thanks for looking, Mike

Hallo Bavaria Mike,
I Think you are right with 18th century and military french
I continue with german because my English is too bad
I hope you can understand me ...
Ich denke es ist ein Miltärischer Grenadiersknopf
Mitte bis ende 18tes Jhd müßte hinkommen
Ich verschiebe das zwecks genauer Bestimmung nach Knöpfe
Gruß Matze :-)

To my opinion this knob is dated between 1871 and 1930.
Greetings :hacker: :winke:
Danke alle fuer die hilfe. Der knopf ist sicher ein Franzosischen Grenadier knopf, 1871-1916. MFG, Mike
