Hi everyone! It has been awhile since I have posted anything but I thought yesterday's find was worth sharing!
I went back to a camp I have been hunting off and on for the past 9 yrs. and recovered my find of the year and my first button of this type.
According to Albert's book it is a Confederate Local staff button, #25a in his book! WooHoo!!! Yes, it does have hints of gold gilt on both obverse & reverse! After all the pics. were taken and even one taken with my cell phone so I could send it to my hunting buddies, I regained my composure and vigilantly started hunting that site very intensely. No sooner than I made my first sweep that I had another button signal. I just knew it was going to be another one, but it turned out to be a GS button with a SCOVILL MF'G. CO. WATERBURY backmark. That's okay I'll take it!
Enough text, here are the pics.
Thanks for looking!
