Only thing I got going for me is that there was 140,000 + Soldiers that came through Stafford,Virginia for almost three years and this spot I was hunting had over 50,000+ Soldiers cross the river into Spotsylvania for the battles. Lot of Civil War history here in Stafford basically the starting place of the Civil War.
 
Sounds like you got an awesome place to hunt. I detect a few Civil War sites here in Eastern Ky, but they were small skirmishes. Nothing major in my area.
 
The button is really pretty that you showed,nice job!
 
GREAT FINDS!! GJ!!!
