Tigerdude, you need to go back and dig every single you get at that site. More times than not when we find a button, we often find more than one. Once we found six Confederate block I buttons in a small area. The coat must have been left there. My point is that most of the signals weren't that good, but after finding the first one we dug everything and it paid off.

Well, I just don't know what to say. Haha. Actually I didn't just stumble on this sight. It's a Tom green campsite and I was hoping to find some of those texas bullets. I've just spent a few hours in a very small area about 30 feet by 30 feet. I've posted this on another message but here is a pic of a few other things including two sword hangers found in the same hole. Thanks to everyone for yalls interest.

You def, Won.
SWEET 'E' Button.
The Sword hangars are 'killer' finds as well & I do love 'Slicks' / Enfields.

Forgive my ignorance , but I'd like to know this ' Tom Green'.

Did he do a book on Marshal TX Enfields.?

Colonel Tom green was a Texas cavalry officer. Very brave and respected. Spent a lot time in Louisiana fighting Yankees. Had his head blown off by a cannon ball following the battle of Mansfield. There is a distinctive bullet those Texans used. Around here they are called a Tom green.

P.s. I've never found one.

A more-specific ID... Colonel Tom Green was the commanding officer of the Confederate 5th Texas Cavary Regiment, until his death in combat on April 12, 1864, at the battle of Blair's Landing.

Appreciative civil war bullet collectors have named an extremely rare variety of Confederate-made bullet after him, because nearly all that have ever been found have come from positions occupied by his cavalry regiment.
