Confederate Va. Button With James Bibb!! "New Update Scarce Back Mark!"
William Leigh Writes: http://www.civilwarbuttons.com/
The Back Mark reads, ".Canfield Bro & Co./Baltimor(sic)" and is a scarcer variety. You will find it cataloged by Albert as VA12. I think of it as being among the prettier die designs of the Virginia's...
The Confederate button God's are shining down on me again this year. I just got back from digging with James Bibb of Tnet and his little son.. Last week, James Scored on the sweet Ga. button and the week before the 3 script I's.....I guess it was my turn tonight. 
It was a really great afternoon hunt, and the site was amazing. A late 1700's White home with the classic Colonial black shutters, that sits high atop a mountain. The home has certainly seen it's share of history, and even near fate of being burnt to the ground. . Union troops led by Sheridan came very close to burning it down during the American Civil War. After looting the land owners, the home was to be torched, but was spared of ruin. Ballroom events were held in a wing of the west side of the home, which was recently relocated to an adjacent museum property for preservation. James and I dug several targets at the site , including early Tombac buttons, Flat buttons, an 1840 seated liberty dime, early IH penny and this beautiful Civil War Confederate soldier Button! Good times! Thanks again to my Buddy James for the invite. 
The button was dug with a Minelab Etrac .
