I had a great day in the South Carolina Low Country on Friday.
It's getting very hard to dig 4 Confederate buttons in one day.

Two S.C. State Seal buttons and a Manuscript Cavalry along with an Old English A.
The C and A buttons have the Halfmann & Taylor/Montgomery/Alabamd back mark.
All are coat size..I also dug an 1861 SL Half-Dime,an early rammer guide,several flat buttons,lots of lead,and residual relics.

Merry Christmas :hello:

You're right, you don't see 4 dug in the same day very often, at least by the same person. :thumbsup: The script C is a nice one to have included.

You will remember that hunt all your life!
 

That's a good day! That plate is what I believe is referred to as a "romeo plate"...

And you might have dug one just like it had you stuck around for the Kings site that Summer. We each found one. I got mine the first day not long after the button, so talk about a high seeing it in the dirt, but then the low realizing what it was.
