Yankee Camp - Super Rare Button Found!

WinchesterDigger · Jan 2, 2011

We went back to our Yankee Camp and out of the blue I got a beautiful signal and this Script A pops out! The picture doesn't do it justice as it has a nice green patina. No pushes, cracks, or dents....perfect dug button. I was speechless, I was on a relic high!

I tried to look up others and there are not alot of dug ones out there.

Thank you for looking.

We've pulled about 50 GS Eagles, 1 PA cuff, and some New York's. This site is on the maps (we're in Virginia) and the site was a huge Yankee camp. We're using a bucket to scrap about 10 inches off the top to get to the layer below the plow zone.

Hi Mike, congrats on a great CS button! I put 2 + 2 together when you said you were scraping the camp. I bet Rocky about sh-t when he saw that button!
