Roscrea Blues were Irish Volunteer Corp formed in the late 1770's.

I hope it’s real! They call ‘em a “cross belt plate” from what I see online.
Oh!!
That's so cool!

Looks authentic to me!
Irish...the Lyre gave that away I think. (Harp for the rest of the world)
Now THAT is a killer find, her husband did well in finding that beauty!
Now you need to do the research to figure out why it was found in an area that wasn't even settled until the mid 1830's.
Yep, born raised., and still here.... nice find on the 6th regiment button!You must be down near Monroe. The battle of Erie was the closest the war of 1812 got to here.
FWIW, I found a USI 6th Reg. officer's coat button from the war of 1812 in a field across the street from my house.
I'll be down by your neighborhood (South Rockwood) tomorrow for work. I always wanted to hunt that area, but never have the time.Yep, born raised., and still here....
You also assume that someone from that regiment wore it there. Could have been an Indian 'prize' too.
That is an amazing piece of history tight there.
Did you actually find it in the yard?
