🥇 BANNER CIVIL WAR DOG TAG!

[Sniffy]

So today I got out of work a little early so I decided to swing by a cellar hole close to home. The only nice thing that came from this site was a pretty Civil War CT seal button. Somethin told me today I better get up there and see what kind of signals I can get with my new machine. And check this out! I thought it was a Condor token, or New Jersey copper at first being that it is the same size as a large copper....but even better! Civil War Dog Tags....Against Rebellion 1861. Using my ancient chinese cleaning secret she polished up pretty good. This is a very exciting find for me....however, I was kind of let down not being able to find a name or initials on the back.....I think they may have been there but I may have destroyed them. This is now one of my all time favorite relics! Thanks for lookin folks!

Congrats on a great find and banner, you did a nice job cleaning it up also!

 

[DrJoePrime]

Congrats!

I believe it's worth an effort to work on the back and get some detail. Without the information there now you really can't lose much? Perhaps a professional cleaning? From one site I saw an auction value of $900 so it may be worth the extra effort?

This is the type of Civil War relic that I like digging. They use to be dug so much more often than they are today, now days it is a prize for certain when you find one, especially up where you are from. My Compliments!

A very rare find indeed as I have never seen one either. I agree w/ Jersey Hunter....what is the Chinese secret....the boiling peroxide method?
