**Confederate Flat Button**TREBLE GILT STAND d"
My digging buddies & I returned back to the site Saturday where I dug the Yankee Belt plate two weeks. No additional plates this time were found, but I did dig two fired enfiled bullets, and my first flat button from the site, which may be Confederate, based upon the writing on the back which states; " TREBLE GILT STAND d". According to www.relicman.com, the majoirty of buttons, with back marks, TREBLE GILT, RICH GILT, etc, were of English manufacturer origin for the Southern troops. And since the site we've been detecting was a known battlefiled, one can only deduce that this button more than likley belonged to a Southern trooper.
Unfortuntley the face of the button has no discernable markings, but the back mark is clearly discernable with gilt still entact. H.H...
