[QUOTE="Tassie Daz, post: 530005, member: 334"] [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/334/1578055182_20200103_225059.jpg[/img] Every now and then we find a pearla, that sometimes is even more significant than a bunhead or KGV. My last "pearla" was a cruddy old button with much significance, because you see it even predates the recognised Militia of our area. The 81st Wakefield was formed and disbanded by 1914 and the "troops" were all absorbed into 10Bat. Prior to all this, the settlers banded together in "volunteer" groups and called SA Volunteers. I gather there were "rifles", "artillery", etc etc. The button I found at a permission recently dates to 1860 - 70 was made by Bertram and Cornish. The button is 23mm in diam, hollow backed and this one shows some of the original gilt covering. What a surprise. Did I tell ya, blimey, I love detecting. [/QUOTE]
