Day one in central Virginia

[Joe-Dirt]

Me and a buddy down for the week to detect the cold harbor area. The rain yesterday was brutal but we detected any way behind our Airbnb 20 miles from Mechanicsville and it paid off with an unusual war of 1812 navy button with the shank on the face ( any info appreciated) and a nice block A confederate coat button.

Cool finds! Here's a post I made a while back about a similar button:

✅ SOLVED Thread 'Button with Eagle/Anchor Backmark?'

Sep 29, 2019

Anyone ever see a backmark like this?

The front is plain.

I've found many buttons with backmarks that include a small eagle. But the back on this one looks like the front of some naval buttons I've seen. Found at late 1700s home site.
