Large 1800's Button (1".25) found in civil war camp. Help PBK
I found this button at the confederate camp / farm where most everything I have been finding this year.I must admit I was dragged out 5 hours into my hunt, (pinched nerve in my neck & all) I was giving up with 1 bullet, 1 small button, & an unusual I believe a lock cover 1850 patented date, I will post it a little later. I actually was dragging my detector behind me with the car in my sight, cold water snacks and to give my ears a break, when suddenly you guessed it a loud "ping"!!! I don't believe it always happens when I'm ready to leave & give up!! Well folks just like Joe Cocker always sang, I need a little help from friends. You won't believe this but another detectorist found one of these in Tenn. a couple months back,& from what that web site contributed is this!! A Fireman's button ,Chief/ captains button New York City no less. Ok Ok what the heck is this button doing in Spotsylvania VA. where I'm finding all the civil war relics?? The button has this chap blowing a horn/mega phone holding a smudge pot of fire & on the run?? Look close & you will see "FIRE" above his hat. Help PBK I'm not sure of the positive identification from this other web site. Thanks Guys & Gals for looking and sharing your opinion's.
