Civil War Union Rifleman's button

I dug this Monday, at a place I have been hunting for several years. It was the only "good" item I dug, but it is the first R button I've ever found, in 30 years. I dug it in rich, dark soil, so it still retained a fair amount of guild. Rain ran me away, but I'm going back soon. This is a coat-size button.
