Yes! cavalry coat button

[birdman]

Hi all, just returned from a hunt at the union camp site. This place has been fantastic . I pulled over 100 dropped bullets and many buttons but most had been damaged by plows . Today I returned thinking there was little left to dig but I figured I could swap machines and maybe find something left behind.
I was using my Etrac with good results and I brought my Sovereign Elite today to try it out. This is the first hunt I have had with this machine and she did real well . I dug 5 percussion caps which were missed and bullets ,button backs and the best find from this camp a Calvary coat button in nice shape! My first one and a coat button to boot with some gilt left. I also found my first J hook that is all there from this site. I love 70 degree weather in January. Thanks for looking and HH.

View attachment 725211 Cleaned it up just a bit in water.I am scared to do much more to it. Found a GS coat button today and the property owner came by so I gave it to him.He said dig away over all his fields .Maybe I can find another hot spot in the next couple of weeks when I can get some hunting time together.

Good job Birdman! I am sure that GS went a long way! I am just glad you hit that place again. What else did you find today?

Hey all ,thanks for the great comments.

Papa Bear , Just a few bullets, a smashed GS coat button and the nice GS coat button that I gave to the property owner. He was making the rounds in his SUV with his dog running along side. He asked about you and your slave metal, I told him you were living the good life up north.
This spot has been a blast.

Looks like you're onto a really productive site. Love that eagle C button. And nice strategy bringing out a 2nd machine. That strategy always seems to pay off. Great hunt!
