Not 1, not 2, not 3 but 4, YES 4 NC Staff Officer Buttons!

[nc-joe]

I am in total awe I thought I was having a great day helping a new detectorist learn the ins and outs of his new XLT and going over the how and why the adjustments do what they do, and we hit an older house after the crash course at the local community college.

I was amazed to find a nice assortment of coins, 1897 IH cent, 1900 IH cent, 1914 wheat cent, 1919 wheat cent, 1895 V nickel and a 1906-O barber dime. I was suprised to find a musket ball and a few odds and ends but absolutely blown away when I started pulling civil war buttons.

Best I can tell (thanks for helping with the ID Modern Miner) they are listed as Albert's NC 4 State Seal Staff Officer Buttons. I am really at a loss for words.... and that doesn't happen much!

Thanks for looking!

Sorry for the rough photos, but I am not going to attempt to clean the buttons. I am going to leave that to someone that knows what they are doing. There appears to be plenty of guild left on them...

Joe,
I knew they were NC buttons and old as soon as you described them to me on the phone.
***CONGRATS on one h-ll of a day Big Guy****
Those NC buttons are an awesome find, and those coins are icing on the cake. I would be flying high.
Hopefully you'll build up enough nerve to clean them up a bit so we can see the real beauty.
WTG,
Doug

Way to go Joe!!!

I wouldn't be afraid to use a SOFT tooth brush with some dishwashing liquid on them while holding the button under running water.
They are obviously yours to do with what you want, you can't go wrong by under-cleaning them.

If there were 4 there, then there are probably the rest of the coat, maybe at least 4 more!!!!
