First post...First button!

[crashbro17x]

Well, I’ve been looking a TN for a few months now and I finally decided to make myself a profile. I started going detecting with my dad when I was younger and I’ve been hooked ever since. Last year I got my first detector and I haven’t put it down much since….and yesterday I found my first button…a US Eagle Cuff!! I’m still smiling!

Here are some more of my finds from this past year...

That button is a BEAUTY!!

Congratulations on your finds, and welcome to the forum!

Happy Holdiays,

Hey, Thanks everyone!

TEXAN Connection-The brass piece you are asking about is a guard plate off of a US McClellan saddle (according to Howard R. Crouch; Civil War Arifacts, a guide for the historian)

dcooper1- Yeah, I like keeping it together too. I've done some research and found the actual dates of the fights in the areas I've been hunting, and what the fights are listed as in the archives..

tcooper1-I love the full spencers too...I have dug several and broke the casings when I was digging (darn hard Tenneesse clay). I've only been able to keep those 2 in the picture in one piece.

bigtim1973-I'm from Pulaski. I've got a buddy or two that lives up in Dickson...May have to get together sometimes when I'm up that way...

LOL...I know...I've been looking hard for one...I got a buddy of mine interested in detecting. He bought a detector and went with me twice and found two buttons. I finally got this one a couple of days ago...you should have seen the smile on my face when I dug it up..
