Had a good day at an old and new permission in Saratoga. Found my first reale! Also 2 round balls that
I believe are canister shot. They ring up 12/13 on Equinox. Smaller musket balls usually ring up 16-18. Also found a small button with a crown and gilt in middle. Still researching but anyone familiar with this button?

Very nice finds!
Very cool Crown button. It looks like it is in great condition. If you find out what it is let us know. If you want to send me an individual picture of it, I will send it to the lady that did the button presentation and see if she can help.
The size of the ball looks like it could be "grape shot" from a cannon. I haven't done any research on those.
