It was a STAR of a day!!! Possibly 3 more GOOD Confederate buttons for the year!

[Devonrex]

Just got in and just wanted to snap a quick before cleaning picture of my finds. Todays 3 hr dig turned out to be as Confederate as you can get !!! Secured permission on a site I've been trying to get on for several years. I scored 3 buttons (1 overcoat, 1 coat, and 1 cuff) and 1 button back. The largest in at least 25mm and low convex. I have no idea what it is...... BUT the coat button has a big star on it with an I!!!!! I know it is a Mississippi or Texas. Its been 8 years since I found a Mississippi and 20 years since I found a Texas. Needless to say I am elated!!! The cuff button was found next to this button so it could be a goodun too! The scabbard tip was my last signal and I put my shovel through the tip. Oh well, at least it wasn't one of the buttons! It was great to be digging some Confederate brass and lead again. I'll post an addendum later. What a great day!!!! Devonrex Wow!!! A Mississippi "I" Coat, a Virginia coat, and a Virginia cuff!!! Breaks my record for most Confederate buttons found in one day (3). All buttons also have their shanks. The Mississippi has a Hyde and Goodrich N.O. backmark. Confederate button count is now up to 7 for the year!!!

Nice finds, I would be elated with three CS buttons in a day. Those days don't happen too often these days. I had a double header in March and that was my first multi CS button day in a few years.

Hope you get many more.

Nothing wrong with prolonging that feeling a bit. You know the one where you know you found something that you have a very good feeling about, but can't quite tell because of dirt or corrosion so you just put it in your pocket until you get home. Of course we all have probbaly had it happen the other way too, have that good feeling only to realize the find wasn't what we had hoped.

Good buttons btw.
