My first Civil War button! YES!!!!!

[Kent in AL]

Got up this morning and decided to go detecting so went to an old homesite for the first time in about a year. The last couple of trips there have been frustrating. Went to the back of the house which is hard hunting because of the vegetation but my first target dug was an I button in really good shape. The scan isn't good so it doesn't do it justice. Can't see a backmark due to the green but the shank is intact. I was pumped! Then it rained off and on so didn't get much more hunting in and found the ever-present AL tax token and what looks like the frame of a brooch.

I was using my Fisher ID Edge, the button was about 5".

Thanks for looking,

Kent
