CANE FIELD BANDITS and IRON BRIGADE MEMBER
Re: 2008 finds!!
Looks like a Good Year to me! I'd take a VA state seal over a bullet Anyday!
Growing up in VA, you'd think I'd have found one--but I've never found even one good Confederate button...only Eagles, Eagles, GStaffs, and more Eagles...
Took my buddies back there and one of 'em dug a VA state seal this spring. I'm Confederate Button Cursed. Been 16 years.
So with just the VA button and the nice old coins, that is a GREAT year.
Best Wishes,
Buckles

Re: 2008 finds!!
Hey civilman1 I would be there in a hour but the wife keeps my gas money and shes still mad about me driving five and a half hours to finds the VA button but it was worth it. Cant wait to see your cs buckle on the banner next year! Ill get me a bullet soon but if not I might have to get your help . I did find two musket balls at a confederate camp on the easternshore of VA. so I guess that will have to do to next year.

Re: 2008 finds!!
Wow, so many buttons, I have a few 3 ringers I'll trade you. LOL I hunted in Va. this year and hunted one whole day, and never found a button, but the next day I did find 5 button's one of them being a Eagle and one was a West Point button.
All I can say is You Did Good, what a year. Congrats on all your finds!
