Entire Coat of New York Civil war Buttons, and a Connecticut plus more!!!!!

[pitdiggers]

It sure was one cold windy day back in the camp! My son and I took my long time friend to the camp where we were digging before the BLIZZARDS. Snow was still in the fields but we hunted where the grass was showing and what a day we had. In one 5 foot area we found an entire coat of New York coat size buttons. All three of us got in on the fun. Immediately following those finds my son walked about twenty feet away and out popped a huge Connecticut coat button. Then my friend dug an eagle and numerous bullets from a slope adjacent to the New Yorks. A couple more buttons and 20plus bullets later we had just about frozen ourselves enough and we called it a day. Enjoy the pics!

I think the day you do it's going to knock you over!

I also have to have one... but it has to be killer! I do hope to have dug at least a few by the time April ends but we'll see how it goes.

PS... You gotta get over a nice Rev CT button!
