Very nice and in good condition, are they brass as they do look like it.

Good luck on your next hunt.

 Very nice . I am not a specialist but they look like to be 1st Empire buttons ( 1800-1812 ) . Did you find them in the US ?

I have found similar buttons on a 1814 battlefield in France

I dug the French Navy and the 64th near Williamsburg on private land. I collected the others. based on a book I have that discusses French Regiments in Virginia with backmark photos. I know the French passed by my house in 1788 after the Rev. War. during the Campaign of 1788. Thanks.
