Heck yeah! Dont get much better then Confederate buttons. Those state seals get your heart pumping. That half dime is amazing too. I'd be extremely happy with that hunt.

I have reason to believe a confederate general lived at my detecting site. So I'm gonna say theres a good chance. It was his button lol

Thanks guys there was a confederate general who lived on the plantation where I found the button and my infantry button. I believe that it is a south carolina state seal militia button from what I've read. This particular general served in the. South Carolina militia. So it's a heck of a coincidence or I've got myself a somewhat famous general's button or at least he's famous in NC

I’ve only gotten 1 seated dime and never a half dime. Half reals and Half Capped Bust now that different. But my Seated Dime is the one around my neck. Congratulations on that beautiful seated and awesome button!!
