Scarce King's Mountain Military School (Academy) Button!!!

[mangum]

I found a bucket list button yesterday, a rare King's Mountain Military School (SC)(Academy) button!!! (Civil War period). I met up with my buddy Jeff yesterday & found this in the first 10 minutes (another was found at the site on a previous hunt as well). Of course I didn't find much the rest of the day (always goes that way) but I'm not complaining! I'm very happy to add this scarce piece of history to the collection!

It's a knob, I assume off of furniture. I have found them at colonial sites before.

How pounded is the site. I have permission to hunt the full 88 acres and am thinking about planning a trip this spring.
