Damnails and I went back to the Confederate camp were I found the block A button the other week and things were pretty slow. We need rain bad. I didn't find a lot. Notable finds were a Spencer casing and a toasted button. I wasn't sure what it was till I got home. Turns out to be a NY State seal button. Wow, what's that doing in a Confederate camp? Prisoner or loot?? Made my day even though it's in bad shape. I'll take it. Thanks for looking IMG_20161029_131921168.jpgIMG_20161029_131902432_HDR.jpg you can see more detail from the inside.IMG_20161029_131852373.jpgIMG_20161029_131834282.jpg Here is example of what it is supposed to look like.croppedimage300272-PC5823-1.JPG

Congratulations on a New York button.
What would really be strange is me finding a Virginia Button here in New York. lol
Congrats on your finds.
 

It actually has pretty nice detail despite being warped. Congrats! -Lisa & John
 

Nice save RN. It is hard to say how it might have gotten there> Maybe someone needed a button for their coat and took it off a dead yankee? I just had a half toasted Indian head save my hunt today:

I never thought of that. Half the fun is trying to figure out why. There was no fighting at or close to this site so it's definitely out of place. Thanks

Nice NY Militia button, &c and a long way from where it came from! :icon_thumright:
 

Great find. I have often found yankee buttons in CS camps. In fact here is one of my prized possession.a CS Lt frock coat and all the buttons are yankee staff officers buttons.
