Nice!!! I found this group in/around Winchester about a month ago. There is plenty left for us "latecomers". Stephens City is still loaded with relics. I would love to get into the earthworks across from the Tasker Rd. library. They say that plenty of plates came out of there in the 80's. The small star button stumped me until someone posted the same button about three weeks ago. He said it was a kepi button from Wharton's Texans...I found it behind Handley High School, which is Bower's Hill. I looked up Wharton's Brigade on Cornell University's Civil War Records site, and low and behold, it said that Wharton's men were on Bower's Hill in the 1st Battle of Winchester.
