I was invited to hunt a new site today that has given up some good finds in the last few days. My hunting buddy dug a nice flat button about five minutes after starting to hunt. I was finding odds and ends, mostly kitchen stuff, when I got a signal that should have been a pull tab. It rang up as a 24 on my DFX but since there hasn't been any modern stuff pulled I decided to dig it. I was pleasantly surprised to see an eagle button come to the surface but there was something about it that was different but I couldn't put my finger on it. Then it hit me like a ton of bricks. The wings were pointing down!! After 45 years of metal detecting I had finally found my first Confederate button. It has a push in it and is worn but it is still the best looking button I have ever seen. I haven't determined which variety it is yet but am leaning towards CS41 in Albert's button book.
I know it is not the nicest specimen but as my hunting buddies tell me; I can quit my crying now!
Next up is a belt plate or some more CS buttons.
