I found the general area of a a Civil War site many, many years ago and I finally got around to hunting again today. Unfortunately, I found a bunch of crap THEN I got this signal.

I was so excited yo show it to yall that I haven't cleaned it, other than carrying it in my mouth for a while so some of the dirt soaked off.

If you cant tell, it is a skinny pelican(the state bird of Louisiana) with the head crooked to our right.

I've never found a Louisiana button before, I usually hunt in LA or TX and am in LA right now. I've seen a number that were found in VA in camps but I've never seen one found here. I dont have my Albert's Button Book so I dont know the specifics on the button but I can see a backmark.

I'll post another pic when it's cleaned

Sorry, the Pelican's head is on the left side which would make the bottom of the button to the right as we're looking at the pic.
