my frist civil war find...i think.

[diggin tennessee]

found this button a short time back and didn't think much about it until i found it again after moving into our new house. i've shown it to several people and all of them think it from the civil war but i'm still not sure. the eagle is pretty worn but you can still make out a shield in the middle of it's chest with what looks like several vertical bars. thanks and good hunting!!

I am not a real button man,

but that looks Civil Warish to me.

Indian wars at worst.

Nice find,

Are you sure that's not a C in the center for Cavalry?

I'd say indeed that is a civil war Union eagle button
