This is the White Whale of CW Buttons for this Louisiana Boy!!!

[Truth]

Possum and I went to my permission and being that he just got his Deus I suggested he go to the iron pit where I’ve found 2 Half Dimes and 2 Half Reals and 1443 rusty iron nails. He told me he spoke with Calabash who suggested he put the Deus in 20 kHz in the heavy iron. Now I’ve never taken the 800 out of multi so I said heck I’m gonna try 20 kHz and proceeded to the dreaded iron field that I haven’t found anything else there in 6 months. Well my very first hole was a Civil War Confederate Louisiana Seal Pelican Coat Button!!!!! I couldn’t believe it we where like two school boys who saw a voluptuous woman. Lol I also squeaked out this small flower button and a 2 ringer that also looks special not sure. This is one of the best day of my life. I don’t see a back mark and I’m to scared to to anything else at this time. Any suggestions are always appreciated. I’d like to thank Possum for being there so I could share a once in a lifetime experience with someone and not be alone. Truly a out of body experience. Thank you all and Tnet for giving a platform to share my joy.

Very nice. Do not clean it and you might want to coat it with Elmer's glue. That comes off in water if you want to but since CW buttons can be quite delicate I generally use matt finish polyurethane for my eagle buttons.

I have to admit this one’s pretty solid I don’t believe it has a black mark on it and it has the rope border with no rays in the center near the shank but I can’t find a variety.

That thing is a beauty, heck ya. Way to go T. You just keep upping the ante over there. That’s one hell of a historical find. Congrats my friend! [emoji106]

That’s one heck of a nice button! Congratulations! I’ve been hunting for a long time (1977) and have only found seven confederate buttons. There’s nothing like the moment that you realize what you just dug and it came from a time that our people fought for what was right. Banner vote already submitted and I hope you get it. Good luck!
