Confederate button find in Mississippi today!

Went door knocking this morning with Captain caveman and had the most amazing find in the yard of an 1800's home. My first Confederate Infantry Button and its in awesome condition. Full straight shank and all.

I cant determine who made it. Back is too rusty. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Im still stoked. Im a coin shooter who happened upon a relic. And from what my friends tell me, it a great find.

Nice button. As previously stated, there won't be a backmark. They are "Western Theater" buttons.
