Every since I joined TNET my big goal was to make a banner find , I missed out on the banner with my rare 1690 english pad lock I found because it took 6 years to get it ID'd . And to me that is when I realized it is not about the fame of finding something cool but a tribute to the relic itself so people can appreciate knowing it was saved and the rarity of the item itself . I do know Texas buttons and Mississippi buttons are very rare to find . And to me to find not one but two in three weeks just makes me speechless. But I do hope you folks will nominate this button for the banner so it can get its just deserve's .
Now today me and DHD hooked up and set out , we didnt have as good of luck as usual but we did manage, two come back next weekends bad time right now, and one yes after some small talk . We were only there about 10 minutes when I hit a solid +22 at 2.5 inches .So I dug the plug and flipped it, and I saw this nice button with some dirt around it . So I hollered to DHD and said hey check out this button . Then in my pocket it went, I was thinking it was a nice eagle button . When we got ready to roll DHD said hey let me check out that button man , so I pulled it out of my pocket and handed it to him and he looks at me as said man there is a big star on this thing its not an eagle .. So my mind was thinking either Texas or Mississippi . So when I got home I hit the sink really quick with a tooth brush and as the dirt came off I couldnt beleive the condition this button was in a beautiful MISSISSIPPI INFANTRY BUTTON !
So thanks for looking and I hope this button gets its just deserves.
