Rare Eagle D Buttons

[Relichunter1]

Here is a few buttons I found in California. These are rare eagle d buttons that I found near a gold mine. This is pre civil war stuff. This design was first used in 1833 thru 1855 I believe. But for some reason not many are found. Enjoy the pictures. And if anyone has any please post some pics. Thanks..

Hello Rick,as you know the Dragoons were what the Calvary would become,and although they are not "common",anywhere,they are rare where yours were found but as you know there was good reason they were where you found them(great history).When you get into areas there was alot of Dragoon activity such as the Dakotas,Kansas,etc.they are found much more.At any rate they are a fabulous find and are my list top dig! A buddy just dug five in our general vicinty,and as with yours the history as to why they were where they were is as fascinating as yours!!
