Slick Largie and 2 Eagle Buttons

[PaDirtDigger]

So today wad the day after my birthday. I managed to come up with triangular Levanna arrowhead in the morning with my friend, he also got a smaller triangular point and a Jasper orient Fishtail.

But then after that fun, I went detecting. But I didn't know where I was going to go, I ended up at the house where I got the wreath side of a civil war era belt and an 1845 large cent. I started swinging and I got mostly what I was expecting, can slaw and other iron bits. But then I got a better signal, and almost on top of the soil wad a button, I wiped it gently and BOOM.... I see an eagle!! Awesome! I continue on and I get another higher signal, hoping for a coin, I stick the Sampson in the ground, pry up, and I can see that roundness in the dirt...didn't even need to flip the dirt all the way out, it wad right there! I pick it up, and I thought maybe a button... Nope, definitely a Largie, but slick Rick. I kinda think it could be a draped bust, but, certainly can't tell. Check out the pictures and key me know what your imaginations tell you... about 20 minutes pass by, and I popped out another eagle button!! Please tell me if these eagle buttons are civil war related. I think that they are, considering other things that I have retrieved from the yard. Also, if they are, are they just general/ordinary buttons?
I also got some squished round balls, and one looks like it was actually chewed on... And a busted up crotal bell...

Nice old large cent!, nothing wrong with a day like that, great pair of eagle buttons too!

Those Eagles look like they might be pre Civil War

I just noticed the second one is an artillery button it looks more Civil War era to me

Nice digs, That crotal bell was killer

RL... to me, i thought these buttons were the same type... But i really dont know much about buttons. On a previous trip here and got a fantastic Tombac button complete with the shank... No design though, a true gem specimen for a tommy... The house was built 1810, so pre civil war is possible...but...

Hi; The Large Cent is Draped Bust. You can see the outline of the drape in the lower right hand quadrant and the head is facing Right. The buttons are Civil War era. Eagle buttons of the Civil War had a letter in the Center Crest such as A for Artillery, I for Infantry etc. Nice finds. There got to be silver there somewhere. Let us know. PEACE:RONB

Thank you Barker... You see what i saw, and i can make out the bottom of the wreath on the reverse of the coin too. That was a good tidbit of information about the buttons, i had no idea before... I have been hoping for silver there since my first visit. Strange though, not a single wheat cent was found there and the only clad was right where the owner parks... I am glad i listened to her as she told me i should check the soy beans, i just waited for them to be harvested. I think im going to investigate those NEL coils for next year... Thanks again for the info!!
