FIRST CONFEDERATE BUTTON OF THE YEAR AND ONE I'VE NEVER FOUND!

I'M NEW TO TREASURENET BUT BEEN POSTING ON OTHER FORUMS FOR MANY YEARS. REVISITED AN OLD HOUSE SITE THAT I FOUND ON NEW YEARS DAY. THE FIRST SIGNAL I DUG TURNED OUT TO BE A CUFF BUTTON JUST UNDERNEATH THE LEAVES. FINDING IT ON TOP OF THE GROUND LIKE THIS REALLY SURPRISED ME. ONCE HOME AND AFTER BEGINNING TO CLEAN IT I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE A BUILDING STARING UP AT ME. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT KIND OF BUTTON I HAD FOUND. THE BUTTON WAS LOADED WITH GILT AND HAD THE BACKMARK ROBINSON'S EXTRA. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OUT TICE'S BOOK AND UNDER VIRGINIA BUTTONS I FOUND IT...... I HAD FOUND A NORFOLK MILITARY ACADEMY VEST BUTTON. THIS IS THE FIRST MILITARY SCHOOL BUTTON I HAVE FOUND IN THE MORE THAN 25 YEARS I HAVE BEEN RELIC HUNTING! THIS HOMESITE HAS ALSO PRODUCED AN EARLY VIRGINIA BREASTPLATE AND A COAT VIRGINIA BUTTON. THE GOLD PLATED WEDDING BAND WAS FOUND A FEW FEET FROM THE BUTTON. DEVONREX
