I actually dug this button on the 22nd of October but just now got around to cleaning it up and getting pictures posted.
Got lucky and dug this while coin shooting but in an area that had civil war activity. Been wanting to dig one for over 10 years.
Thanks Everyone A-lot of time put in to get that one.
Now if I can Get a NC Sunburst 'Cast'
A Confederate Staff Officer
and Def, one of those Rare SC Buttons that are Known to Hang around Here.
IMO these are the 3 Non-Union buttons I'm most likely to dig in my area.
Around here Many Confederates used GS Eagle Buttons as I have dug many in Confederate Sites.
Congratulations on the cast I. Took me awhile to find my first and dug another a short time ago.
Nothing like pulling confederate items out of the ground.
That's awesome! Never found one myself, but I was hunting with a buddy in Lenoir Co. N.C. some years ago that found one. His appeared to be pewter and was not complete.When do you want me to come down and hunt with you? Congrats!
