I Found an 11th Regiment Wisconsin Volunteers Token

[cwtrader1863]

I found an 11th Regiment Wisconsin Token near Vicksburg, MS. Has on the face- AT Sutlers Store/Sid Wright/11 R Wis V(11th Regiment Wisconsin Volunteers). I'm surprised all words can be seen clearly since this token is so thinly made.

I looked up the History of the 11th Wisconsin in the Vicksburg Campaign. Very active regiment around here.

I cant wait to finish digging out that military dump. After all the rain we have gotten lately the ground should be easier to dig thru.
