Confederate "Lined C" Cavalry Coat Button!!! (rare back) Beautiful 26 SLQ & More!

Hello all! Well, I had a great day Saturday... My favorite find (of course) is the coat size Lined C Confederate Cavalry button. It has a rare backmark of Courtney & Tennant. The button was made in England for Courtney & Tennant, a store in Charleston SC. If only it could talk! This is definitely in my top 10 best finds. Another memorable find was a beautiful 1926 standing liberty quarter that looks like it was dropped not too long after it was made. I also found a nice assortment of other relics. Any help on the mystery items would be appreciated. I'm especially curious about the 2 buttons or coins melded together. It was a great day to get out with some good friends & save some history! Thanks for looking & HH!

I know nothing about buttons but a CSA cavalry piece sure sounds like a good one. That quarter I'm a bit more familiar with, and it is a real beauty!

Nice collection of finds you have there. The first "what is it" item is sprue from a lead bullet mould. This would be correct for the period of the rest of your earlier finds at this site.

Thanks for the ID on that, there were quite a few union relics that came from this small spot I was hunting. The Confederate button was found on the next ridge over (a South Carolina button came out of the same spot as well)

WONDERFUL button my friend!Love that deep green Patina. Woods find?

It was technically woods, they harvested the timber a week or so ago. This site has been hunted many times however, the spot I found the button was probably open before they cleared the timber.
