Found in Missouri. Im assuming it's a civil war era button but I'm unable to identify the state. I thought it was a Maryland or new jersey button but the design is all wrong. Any help appreciated.
We are pretty sure we have found a US Cavalry camp here in Colorado and have been working it hard for a few years. The loamy soil here is so kind to all the relics we have been finding. This is my first coat button out there and has been the most amazing button relic since I've been detecting...
I have hit what appears to be a Confederate Cavalry camp in North Alabama. Several plain flat buttons and odd iron objects with Sharps and Maynard bullets occurring with Roundballs. This is the first item that could be identified as North or South.
It is a 35mm, heavily corroded item that...

Wow, I went back to my spot today that produced the 32 Spencers and gorgeous North Carolina and Connecticut buttons. Today I plucked out an unreal condition New York officers cuff button. I am just speechless at how gentle this soil is to buttons. I have pulled three state buttons now, two...
I'm very pleased with a current trend of mine. A few months ago I found a nice Virginia button only 5 feet away from an eagle general service button. I think I topped that today with gorgeous Connecticut and North Carolina buttons found only 7 feet apart. I found both of these only feet from the...
