well, no place is ever worked out- that includes my yard! been working my 1/2 acre lot for 24 years, and every 'first of spring' some thing comes up-- this mornings find is a G.A.R. small two piece button. I have not yet learned how to get a good res. photo up here, so I can only describe it. I did see one that just like it, but with plenty guilt on ebay.- http://cgi.ebay.com/Civil-War-Veter...ultDomain_0&hash=item230f36911c#ht_500wt_1097 - and confirmed my first idea on what it was.
A few years back while turning my garden over, I found a navy cuff button with C.S.A. on it!! sure wish I had the right camera to do justice with the pix. I live in the Finger Lake region of N.Y., so either it was a souvenir or a work party from the almost local P.O.W. in Elmira.
gosh, -- gotta back out in this sun shine--- da Prof

Neat. I have some buttons from my gg grandfathers coat and a pic of him in it at a reunion. Nice find.
