My first CONFEDERATE button!

[adventureswithjim]

We got permission to do this house, possibly 1880's, at first it seemed like just an average nice day. Matt pulled a 44 merc, we got some wheats, victorian looking brass decorative doo-dads and the button. It wasn't until I got the button cleaned I realized it wasn't another victorian age bit, but a Civil War button.

Turns out to be a CSA Staff Officier, seems it's on the rare side too, I could only find a couple other examples to match anywhere online.

I do love it when the "junk" bag produces something exciting when you get home!

There is a short video on this one, always fun to hunt with friends.

Great CSA button find and love the video!! I can't believe you guys don't use gloves to dig with.

By the way, my first CSA button I found was a Script " I " button. I didn't even know what it was,
I was hunting a friend asked me if I had found anything and I said some sort of button.
When I showed it to him, he started jumping up and down and got short of breath and said do you
know what you just found. I said yea some sort of button, he said after he cleaned it off with water
and a tooth brush, a Script " I " button. I later realized what I had found and now it is my CW button
box.

Again, Congrats on your great Find,
HH, Ringfinder

I've tried using gloves, just too annoying for me personally. I like the feel of dirt in my fingers.

Oh and I found block "I" confederate infantry today! that vid will post soon..
