My first US military button!

[MrBlueSkyNM]

Old man winter has finally let up enough for the snow to melt and soil to thaw. I’d been chomping at the bit to test my new 6” coil in an old dump site. I was shocked to find this old button! I can’t wait to see what else I’ll find! Thanks for looking!

Congratulations I found a eagle general service one yesterday what a great feeling to pull out that history. My first eagle button.

Nice button!

That's the Indian Wars version of the US General Service button. Nice find. We don't get them here often. You can tell by the wing design and the raised shield in the middle.

Thanks! It looks like it's actually post Civil War. I was hoping it was though!

Thanks so much! Yes, it looks like about an 1875+ button based on what my friends are telling me. I'll take it! Woohoo!
