Need a button ID please! dug today....

I got permission sunday afternoon at this large corner lot late 1800's home I have been eyeballing for a long time. Finally caught the homeowner and he gave me permission. what a HUGE let down...I took half a day off work because I was so excited to hunt this place, I envisioned indians and barbers, but walked away almost empty handed.......This place was obviously hunted before. I literally dug every repeatable signal, no matter what depth or what it came up as.

I dug about $3 in clad, pulltabs, can slaw.....6 wheats, a button which I am thinking is a decent one. Not sure, an ID would be great if anyone knows. And luckliy ONE silver dime to keep my streak of silver hunts going. 17 hunts in a row now.

But I am more concerned with the button as I think it is the find of the day for me.

Fantastic jbutton find, Terry!

Scoville Mfg. Co , Waterbury , near my home town was a prominent manufacturer of military buttons in its "heyday"...the Company buildings were demolished several years ago and a huge Shopping Mall is now in the former vast factory's land.

Here is a link to buttons made by Scoville.

Looks like Tice GI 228 {Albert's GI 89} , which may be CW, but many of these were used after the CW.

Nice find for sure!

Nice CW button!

The Alberts book is great and another one that is a huge help is the Backmark book by McGuinn/Bazelon - RIP Bill McGuinn

A later button may have the same front as a CW button. Sometimes the only real way to tell is the backmark.

Hopefully the day your silver streak ends a gold streak can begin? 17 in a row is impressive sir and congrats on the random civil war button find.

17 hunts is quite a Silver Streak, and a good feeling. Had a streak of 7 hunts last season, which was pretty good. My favorite type of hunting doesn't produce big numbers of silver. Come to think of it, I didn't even get a copper in 2 hours today.
