Dug My First Confederate Button!

[Sooper Dave]

I went back to the place I found an 1841 Half Dime last week for another quick hunt after work this evening. The last time I was using my stock coil and getting through the heavy iron was tricky. This time I was using my 6x8 coil to get in between all of it. Not too far from where I dug the Half Dime I got a good signal and dug out a button. It came out pretty clean and with a little brushing I could tell right away what I had. My very first CS button and it's a very nice Script "I" Infantry Coat button! I dug a few harmonica reed pieces and some camp lead but not much more. I had to get home and cut grass.
It cleaned up well, I just dry brushed it off and used a toothpick to get in the tight spots. This is by far my best CW button and I'm very excited to have found it. HH David
