Button at new site

[LaGold]

Well I made a short hunt where a house once was but it was difficult with three young kids running around with me but I ended up with a couple finds but nothing spectacular.

Wow nice!

I'm not sure but I think it's civil war I hope some guys help id it

Your button looks to be civil war era. Can you read the backmark? Tennessee digger

 

[LaGold]

Sadly I can't if ya zoom in on the pic you can tell its pretty well toasted. What else could I look for to identify it as civil war

 

[tennessee digger]

Judging by the eagle's wings and the shape of his head I would say that it is a civil war era button based on what I can see. Indian war era buttons are different in several ways but once again, to be certain, you would need to read the back. Can you see any letters at all? Tennessee digger

 

[LaGold]

Can't see a single letter I'm gonna try to clean it a little tomorrow and maybe I can get a few letters then. Thanks for your help. Ill let ya know about the letters if I find any

It may not have a backmark, but it's CW or CW era.
