Todays Finds. Found Virginia Staff Officers Button and Civil War Token

[dcooper1]

Got out this afternoon around 3pm. Hunted until dark. Within minutes I dug the first bullet. Then some coins, then some more bullets, and then .......a Virginia Staff Officers Button, in incredible condition. Continued to dig some more bullets and pieces of lead, and then found the "civil war token"; on the front is says "FIRST IN WAR FIRST IN PEACE" & "1863". On the back it says "UNION FOR EVER". I couldn't wait to get home to clean the other coins, hoping they were more tokens, but they wern't. They were Indian Heads from 1863 thru 1906.

Enjoy the pictures.

Great finds DC..reminds me of my hunts in the Cold Harbor area of Virginia. I recovered a 58 cal bayonet. On each side of the bayonet was a full size Virginia Officers Button. The buttons were in excellent condition. I think the sandy soil in eastern Virginia has a lot to do with button condition.

I noticed the piece with the lady on it, but can't see it clearly. Does she look like this?
Congrats,

Here's a close up of the one that I found yesterday. I don't know what it is about this piece, kinda gives me a strange feeling, wondering what the story is behind it.

I was told mine was Art Nouveau era 1890-1914.
Very nice find.
