EDITED: new pics post 20/Confederate button & arrowhead!
I got out for a little while this afternoon. A friend and I went to a field to hunt points, and I picked up a nice one. That's about it for the afternoon of walking the fields, but then we went into town where some old shanty-houses were torn down to accomodate plans for a larger municipal building. We've hunted there before, and found some wheats and a barber dime, among other odds and ends. Today I got lucky and found a Georgia state seal civil war button. It's a good solid button with a "Hortsmann & Allien N.Y." backmark. This is the second Georgia button I've found...although the first was in much better shape with most of the gilt still on it. I still like this one. Funny, the war wasn't fought here, but I've found 3 rare civil war buttons in this town so far (the 3rd is a lined C button). Also pictured are a couple buckles, '35 and '53d wheats, and some kind of copper or brass flap...maybe for covering a keyhole?
