Found this yesterday at a new site I'm hunting.
 

Wow! Those are hard to come by. Was this at a Confederate site? Any idea on the date of this button? Rest of it not in the hole?
 

Came out of a plowed corn field.the back half could be anywhere. South of grants canal.
 

Very nice.one on my to digs list.sweet find
 

Kool! Hogge Tices....KY200A2 SUPERFIN/PARIS Kentucky Militia General use. Scoville employed the backmark on this button, to avoid prosecution for supplying buttons to the southern states during the civil war.

Still a great button though even if it is damaged. I've only dug two kentucky buttons and they were both in the same hole, glad MDers still finding em.
 

Well done ! Awesome save !
 

Thanks guys. It was fun recovering it. I also found a 1917 mercury dime, 2- V nickels, 2 Indian head pennies & 2 wheats. At the same spot.
 

OLE Kentucky, great one. Go find the rest!
