Hey T-Net,
Thought I would share some recent success my digging partner (the Lucky Dog) and I had the other week in Central Virginia. The buttons were dug a week apart in different locations.
The first button is a Confederate Block A artillery button, I dug in a field that we have hit before but not pounded. We have found many three ringers nearby but never a button. The button's back was pushed in and busted, but the front was in good shape. I dry brushed and put it in my case. She looks happy there.
The second is a Virginia button that the Lucky Dog plucked from a pounded out field that has produced a few Eagle buttons, 3 ringers, coins, and many eye balled arrow heads. He cleaned it up a bit to reveal some remaining silver gilt. Besides the missing gilt, this button is really perfect. Not sure if the photo does her justice.
Much thanks to the Lucky Dog for all the days of digging here in Central Virginia. And thanks T-Net!
