Went detecting to an old Union campsite that had been pounded. Using my Cobra II metal detector began to dig signals everywhere. Iron signals were everywhere and many holes too- looked similar to what the moon looks like in pictures (FILL YOUR HOLES!!!). After a few hours of digging some bullets, I got this feint signal. I dug and dug and dug and about a foot and a half down out popped a button. I thought,"Oh well, another eagle button to my vast collection." I walked around for a few more hours digging bullets and iron. Calling it a day I drove home. Leaving the relic bag in my car, I went inside and deloused myself from a multitude of new found friends eating dinner, the same friends that normally prefer deer to human flesh (Ticks), and forgot about the relics. For some reason, a day later curiosity got me. I thought,"Hmmmmmmm... wonder what that button may be?" I went out to my car and got my digging bag and found the button and brought it inside the house. I began to take off the dirt with faucet water. Slowly as the dirt washed away I could make out a design. "I hope this is a Pennsylvania button", thinking to myself. With the mud off I still couldn't make out what was on the button. I was about to throw it in my "I don't know what it is box", but hesitated instead. Grabbing some lemmon juice and diluting the lemmon juice with a little water, I placed the button on a paper towel and began to lightly scrub it with a tooth brush. Slowly the mud started coming off;, The design could be seen. Beautiful gold gilt began to appear revealing a woman sitting with someone next to her. At the top of the button the following characters emerged with each brush. "N","O","R","T", began to make their appearance. Finally as if I were playing wheel of fortune. "I know what it is!!!';,"'It's a North Pennsylvania state seal button"!!! Yes...hmmm but there isn't a North Pennsylvania? Had I won the prize? Thinking just a little bit more..."Ahh- I know what it is! It's a North Carolina button!!! I had in fact won the prize. I placed the button in my button collection and just for the heck of it went back out to my relic bag just to make sure I didn't throw any other buttons in there that I had forgot about. As I looked into my bag I got the suprise of the day. I noticed two of my friends that must have been forgotten when I deloused myself a day earlier. I picked my friends the ticks off the bag and bid them a final goodbye.
