Civil War Relics and my Best Button!

[okpych]

Had a stellar hunt today on a property with Addam's Artifacts in Charleston County, SC. Was out for many hours but really didn't find everything until close to the end. I only dug one civil war relic before this hunt, and you can say that I left a happy man with these awesome artifacts. I started making my way to a spot that was infested with iron, but I was able to dig in between the signals and pick out a few keepers. First, the D buckle that was civil war era, then the sword guard that's civil war era, then finally I did something I might never do again. I dug a really ugly signal that kinda bounced to 71-72 and out came a civil war era button. I was at least expecting a general service, maybe even a South Carolina (I've found neither), but when I saw that beautiful I on the front of the button, I about fainted.


For my first civil war button, I managed to dig an amazing one. A confederate, English made infantry button. That went through the union blockade. That fell off a solider. That I dug. It almost felt like time froze, everything was quiet and the only thing I heard was me yelling. I was so happy!!

Thanks to Robert Bohrn for helping me ID the button and Addam Coe for running the hunt. They are the smartest people I've met in the hobby--incredible people. You will not regret going on an Addam's Artifact hunt.

Congrats on the nice finds! Could you post a picture of the back of the hook? I found one similar to this, and I'm curious about what yours looks like from the other side.
