The last few days around my area saw some heavy rains, I've had my eye on a construction site this past week and decided to give it a try late Last Sunday evening. I was seeing bits of broken pottery & glass so I knew there had to be something good. Five minutes into the dig I hit a big button heavily encrusted with dirt and crud which I knew was likely a Union staff officers tunic button. I found some modern junk pull tabs, beer caps a few modern pennies then run across a Period harmonica reed, More Junk, then WHAM !!, the Noka simplex sounds off with a big signal, I was surprised to see a bent cavalry spur pop out of the mud. The eagle button still needs some work cleaning there is a tremendous amount of encrustation and I won't try to unbend the twisted spur side, too much chance of it breaking off.
