civil war relic?

[caveman2]

well me and my cousin "olekyground" went to a spot next to mammoth cave where an old house once set, i've detected here before, but all i would find is junk metal and cans. the owner told where the house stood exzatly, and my first find was a 1944 wheatie, about 15' away i got a signal that was hiting a penny and a dime. i dug it up, and it was my first mercury dime. in the same area i dug a 1906 ih penny. then i dug a hole and found this button looking thing. i told my cousin to look at it it had an X on it and he yelled "oh man!" he said that it was crossed drumsticks insted of a X, he said that it come off a drummer boy in the civil war. thanks for looking. let me know bout the button thing

Very cool 8) Are you sure they are drumsticks

Those are crossed cannons and that button is 20th century.

Crusader may be correct WW I Pic of a WW I disc is similar but not exact , nice work by Jeff on Josh's PC caveman , not CW but still a very nice find

thanks, i told olekygroung when i dug it up that it didn't look like drumsticks, and now that i look at it is so obvious that there cannons

Right on about that X mark. They are "Crossed Cannons" and not Drum Sticks.

not WWI, it's WWII or later, post pic of back

 

[caveman2]

the back part is missing

 

[MilitaryCollector]

if has post broken off in center, early WWII, if whole back is missing later WWII, fits with 44 dime. 50's ones are slightly rounded. then go back to flat 1960ish

thanks, i'm gonna hit the spot again in a cpole days. the guy that lived in the cabin, owened the ticket booth thats still there, when floyd collins got trapped in the cave he would charge every 50cents to go back to see. he is supposed to have money buried somewhere. he made over a million dollars charging people to get in there. i hope i can find some 50 cent peices. i'll try to make a video. me and olekyground was gonna make 1 the other day, but his batterys went dead thanks for all the info. good hunting
