It's a eagle button. It fell apart in my hands. I took a picture of it before it completely disinterested. It sucked all of January & most of February that the ground was frozen solid. I worked 7 days a week also. It had me depressed buddy. I'm getting my fix in now lol.

Thanks. They're different for sure my buddy dug one ringtail in there. It's a Confederate camp. Not saying Union cavalry was there before or after the rebs. I have Yankee cavalry camps & the sharps we find are different than these.

Yes I'm very fortunate. The problem is I can only hunt one at a time. That's why this one was left go for so long.

The first picture are definitely federal cavalry from the Gettysburg campaign. It's post battle. The second picture is of what I'm finding now. Its Gettysburg campaign also but before the battle. What I've noticed is the federal ammunition is more uniform & better quality than it's Confederate counter part.
