Did some digging near New Bern

[jorge del norte]

I gave this old school by the Neuse River a better shake with the old Tesoro. I got a few goodies, .75+ cents, a fishing lure , rolled coin, buttons, found a old bottle dump also, stainless washer pocket spill.

The old button tells me this spot is old glad to find that. Might be a ink well bottle......later

When I go, all I ask for is either a bullet or a button.....You got a button! Well done!!

Note that back is the same as yours. It is Pre-Civil War make, but most likely it was used during the Civil War.

Civil war buttons,antique buttons,revolutionary war buttons,confederate buttons.
