Hunting in one of my newer spots and found this Coat Sized Louisiana Pelican button. Back mark is, I think, Extra rich with a Star...The only group in my area were the 3rd Louisiana Infantry...

Also a few three ringers, round balls and what I believe is a canteen spout...

Not a bad day! Been hunting steadily for three years and this is my first Confederate Button...
