Pretty button.

Very nice Eagle A button Joe. There was a lot of action on Mary's Heights. Behind the stone wall was Gen. Cobb's division (Georgia). Most of these troops were of Irish descent, and it was some of these troops that inflicted heavy casualties on the Federal Irish Brigade. So sad. Fellow countrymen from another country, now fellow countrymen in the U.S. slaughtering one another in a Civil War. War has never been civil, nor will it ever be.

I love the button but I like the picture more 'I think'

I used to look kinda like that , Mullet , & still have my Camo jacket 's , lol Just noticed you were giving the 'Napoleon' look with the hand in yr coat , just like pictures of the Civil War Soldiers.

You can not be Older than Me by much.

I can only Wish that I detected back then, even if just at lunch (while working on the Homes that now cover Most of West Cobb Co. & it's Civil War sites.).

This makes me want to go get some 'Red Man' or Copenhagen , Why? Oh the memories.

Yes, the memories. My brand was Levi Garrett, Red Man, or in a pinch, Beechnut. But I never adorned a mullet. That was a little past my era. Lol

That's a nice button for sure, glad you got it back along with the breastplate.
I still have some of that old camo, the old military pattern was good enough for the deer woods til "tree bark" came along(your hat). I'm like Davers, I wish I had been detecting back then as well.--JB
