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!

That's an exceptional button Josh - WTG! And that quarter is in amazing condition too. Very nice hunt. Glad someone can get out. I was only able to get in 2 short two hour hunts the entire month of Feb which is less than 10% of my usual. Been very boring and frustrating to say the least. Are you still going to take that bobcat back to your site? I know you were supposed to do that last month, but guess the weather had an impact on that as well.

Killer button and the SLQ deserves attention too for being in such great shape.

Thanks Bill. Yeah, I see the weather up your way has been rough. We were supposed to do the bobcat this past weekend but canceled because of the snow & ice. I don't think the bobcat would've done any good in the mud. We are planning to now do it the 13-15 , hopefully the weather will cooperate.

Beautiful Confederate lined "C" ! Looks like a great centerpiece. Sometimes I think relics like that do talk to us. Nice standing liberty also along with all the other finds. Snow and rain make it bad but I think the mud is worse.

What is the triangular "keyhole" piece in the 11th pic? I've got a site where we've probably found 10 of them, and I've always wondered what they were.

Sorta what I figured, but always wondered why I found so many. Was hoping you'd tell me it was something different and interesting!

Great finds, by the way. I love finding those beautiful old confederate buttons!

It's not easy to score a dug up SLQ in that condition ! Very Nice Find . With those low mintage numbers I'm a little surprised
that it doesn't list for a lot more in XF grade which it easily makes .
