I usually go to one spot and stay all day. Today was a drizzle here in Virginia and pretty miserable. And I lost my lucky digger (Dang it!). But I found what I believe to be an early U.S. Marines button. Known Civil war activity here but found not ONE single artifact but this one. So weird! At a different spot, I found a period horse shoe, a grapeshot, a frag and the worst soil for bullets I've ever seen. The 2 lower bullets are .58 cal minies, but deteriorated to about .50 cal! Three bullets on top are carbines. And falling to pieces!
Albert's Button Book says this is a Marine button, but no date. Backmark unreadable. anybody care to venture a rough date period?
And . . . after cleaning.
