1853 Half Dime, Civil War Eagle (I) Button, and Bullets: Thrusday's Finds

Vol1266-X and I went back to a Confederate camp, searched, and found Civil War relics. Vol1266-X found a 0.58 caliber bullet plus some brass artifacts. I found an 1853 Half Dime and an Eagle (I) button that still has some gold gilt on it. The half dime has a hole in it so the soldier could keep it on a copper wire so he wouldn't loose it. The Eagle button was probably worn by an officer. I also found a dropped 0.69 caliber round ball in excellent condition.

nice group of finds there. I have seen old coins with the hole and never thought that it came from keeping them together so they wouldn't loose it...very interesting.
