Civil war button ID help, and other finds from 02/15 hunt!

Went to an 1818 cabin I have been unting for several years with my Ace 250. With the new XTerra 70, I was hoping to find deeper stuff.... and I am!

The mercury dime was a good 7 inches deep. Love this machine!

ID help with the button. A musicians button I believe. Marked "WATERBURY BUTTON CO" with 3 stars on the back.

Thanks for looking! Wind was a bit chilly today and the better half was upset I didn't wake her to go along....

Could be either Civil War period or slightly postwar. That's a c. 1860's-70's Waterbury backmark.

I love my X-terra 70, it's a nice machine, I'm still learning with it, thing I like the most is the fast recovery time after passing over an iron object!

Nice finds man, what you found is a musicians button very likely could have been used during Civil War.

You messed up, Beetle! TWICE! You could have had a happy 'better half', AND had someone to keep ya warm if you had bothered to mention that you were going hunting! Make it up to her and take her hunting!

Fantastic finds!
