For buttons, get Warren K. Tice books. He has at least two that are great for our hobby: "Dating Buttons", and "Uniform Buttons of the United States".

Thanks. That was actually my top choice till I realized I couldn't find it anywhere unless I wanted to pay $200-$600 for it! You'd think a publisher would pick up on its importance and re-release it.

Wow couldn't believe the prices on that book. In checking amazon

Amazon.com: Uniform Buttons of the United States, 1776-1865: Button Makers of the United States, 1776-1865; Button Suppliers to the Confederate States, 1800-1865; Antebellum and Civil War Buttons of U.S. Forces (9781577470243): Warren K. Tice: Books

I did see a list at bottom of page of what others bought instead.

Relic Hunter Supply Metal Detecting Relic Hunting Books also has some interesting books. Will look around if I see anything that might be more helpful will post it.
