Excelsior Eagle Button

[Darby]

Went back to our "hot site" today with my buddies Jdsly and Cbxjon this morning. Although Jdsly dug a beautiful Eagle button, I only a couple of tombacs and a flat cuff button. hate to admit itbut this site has really spoiled me. If I don't dig at least one military but I feel let down! We took a break and ended up back for another quick hunt before going to the deer stand. This time I wasn't disappointed! Dug another teatfire cartridge and what I think might be a piece of a butt plate. Then I got a shallow load signal that I thought for sure was a whole can. Got the grass out the way and in the little bit of dirt I dug out and got the same high load signal. No way its a can maybe a coin! Pinpointed it and was super happy to see no coin but a new type of military button (for me). Did a quick google search and didn't see one exactly like it. Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for looking
