Civil war button?

[Maineac]

I found this button a week or two ago. Looks like its a South Carolina civil war button. Cant figure how it ended up in the woods here in maine

That is a nice SC button indeed. I wish it could tell us its story of how it made it to Maine. It must have been an interesting journey. I once heard a story about a US belt plate being dug in Germany. It was believed that it was part a Civil War collection that was scattered into the rubble during WWII by an Allied bombing.

Great button and thanks for sharing it with T-Net!!

Keep up the good work!!

Very Nice Button. Can you make out what the backmark is, thats the only way to tell for sure if its Pre-War, Civil War, or Indian Wars.

Civil war button alright. Just a guess but I'd say speculate some Maine volunteer got it as a souvinier, kids playing with it, lost it. remember, soldiers in every war pick up trophy's after a battle.

War trophy maybe? I also remember US buckle from Germany and Union I button from Australia. Very nice find.

Lest we forget the Battle of Portland Harbor in June of 1863?
