Got a invite form a friend to go to one of his spots after work the other morning. So after get the green light from the wife I headed out. He told my this spot has been pounded over the last 2 years but usually that doesn't matter to me. Well as you can see I had a great day. The pewter I was my first confederate button of the year and in fantastic condition. The lined I was my last target for the day. Thanks for looking ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1422461961.412304.jpg ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1422462025.442548.jpg

Awesome finds. I am still waiting to find my first CW military button. I found a flat button but no markings. But I am hooked. Congrats on the nice finds.

Super finds! The pewter I is in great shape & I believe could clean up a little more. 2 Confederate buttons in a day is tough to beat!

I love it all! What I find fascinating is the old coin is just sort of buried under the buttons. Not mentioned at all yet I would be thrilled to have found just that...LOL Wonderful day hunting you had. Congrats.
