Dug my FIRST Civil War BUTTON!

[jdean]

Had an unforgettable day today! Took the new nox 600 to a permission that my friend has. It was supposedly a field hospital during the war. I hear this all the time, so I was skeptical, BUT....





NOW I BELIEVE!

Unfortunately, the entire property will be bull dozed next week, which SUCKS, but at least we got to hit it for a day. We found a bunch of pottery, trash, etc. But this was the find of the day. I also need to add that I am NOT a relic hunter so this is the first Civil War Button. Anyone have any info? I know it is two piece, but unfortunately I don't even know which side it is from. Any id help would be AWESOME! Thanks!!

Its a Union general service button. The Northern troops used them on their 4 button uniforms. Nice find. That first one is always special.

No, unfortunately not. The back is blank.

Nice find. Can you hunt that site when they clear it? If I could I would hit the cleared land as well as the dirt piles.
