Tenderfoot
Good afternoon all,
Last weekend was doing some "prospecting" in a vast wooded area in southern Virginia.
Found a few square nails, three shotgun shells dating to the late 1800's and "THIS"
which I ~believe~ to possibly be a button? But any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Just for some perspective, this area is in the middle of BFE and has had no current usage for years.
She shells were about 3" deep and the "button" was just at 7"
The images are scans of the item with a half dollar as a size reference.
The front of the item has hash marks, like a huge tic-tac-toe pattern (visible in the scan)
The back has no visible characteristics.
It is not magnetic and seems to be complete copper.
It is fairly thin, about 1/3 the thickness of the half dollar.
As can be seen, three holes through the item, smaller is dead center and two larger aside each small one.
As always, thanks for your help!!
