One of the last hunts for 2022

[VaGent]

Got off work at 1pm, no grandkids to watch today, temps in mid 60s.... guess what I did for a couple hours? Hit the Civil war spot I dug the heel plate and big penny last week. 5 Buttons, including an awesome Eagle I cuff (look at the gold on that sucker!!). Theres also two of the Locomotive overall buttons (found together), a broken tombac button, and a smashed coat button that I cannot identify (maybe a civilian button used as a poker chip?). A knapsack stud and a book clasp round out today's keepers. Any help ID'ing the smashed button appreciated.

Most of the time around here they are ate up, every now and then though you find one in sandy soil.....

What a beautiful button!. I'm always amazed when they clean up that well. BTW- you still have about 29 hours left before year-end. Better get out there and find some more goodies. Cheers!
