CW Cadet Button 'Western Military Institute' KY. NICE

Hi all,
Got my first Confederate CW Button today :hello2:
( I think I can call this Confederate )
There's some conflicting web info, OH/KY :icon_scratch:
Tice Says:
Western Military Institute, Drennon Springs KY.
love the part: 'While not at all common...'
How it got up here is a mystery :icon_scratch:
Never would have found this without the Joey coil,
this beach is an 'Iron Patch' :laughing7:
Thanks for looking and HH everyone :thumbsup:

That's a SUIPER button Herbie. It is a miracle it's in that good shape considering the environment in the pic. That button belongs down here Herbie. Just mail it on down to me-LOL. HH, Quindy.

Hi Q! Got no idea how it got here :icon_scratch:
let me keep it for a bit, when it gets homesick, I'll send it down :laughing9:
Most of these rocky beaches have sand or clay underneath, the deeper the finds,
the better the condition.
I always try to dig a wide hole & I got a patented 'Flip' method for my plug :hello:
Boy that Acorn is pretty :o

Hi MKnTenn,
I often skip over a lot of the responses too :wink:
