Block I

[ncsuwolf]

Found near Richmond Va. Had 30 min before dark this evening. Second hole, out popped this…..my second ever letter button, first ever I. In case you were wondering, the next 15-20 holes were junk. Oh well, worthwhile in my mind.

It is a confederate infantry button

It is a confederate infantry button

Is there a book that lists the confederate buttons ?

That’s a nice button. I’ve dug a few over the years but you don’t see them often. Definitely fit to be in a frame.

Albert or tice are both good books. Tice is more up to date

1 good target...20 bad targets...I'll take that ratio all day. That's a great looking button! Congrats!

Agreed. Have an A and now an I. Just missing c, e and m. Thinking those three will be a bit tougher.

I have dug three blocked “I”, a script “A”, block “C”, a “CSA” and my favorite of course is the one on my avatar. That one was a heart stopper. Best button that I’ve ever dug.

I have a block a and I, and a union eagle c. The scripts are hard enough, but a cs/csa would be a heart stopper.
