Hey Mike, Great find and Great Research!! Did you find them at the DIV hunt today? Just wondered!

I like the rest of your finds also.

No. I am going to the hunt next week.
 

Very cool that you can identify it. I don't think you will be giving this one back though... WTG!
 

Thanks everyone.
 

WTG Mike. Very nice finds and identifying the owner after 140 years + is great. HH.

Me Too, See you in a few days!!
 

By the way I did not hit it with the shovel it must have been plow struck.
 

Awesome recovery Mike....Big Congrat's :icon_thumright:
 

The inside might be gold. There is no tarnish and its a shiny gold color.
 

I vote this for Banner. Anytime you find something personally identified from the Civil War (regardless of condition), it is a banner find! Killer!!! :headbang:

Thanks everyone. It sure is a banner find to me. I am still stoked about this find!
