It Only Takes One Find

After nearly 4 hours of getting nothing in an iron infested site, I decided to work my way back to the truck. It was nearly dark when I got a choppy 69-77 signal on the T2SE. About 6 down I recovered a SC Civil War button with a Schuyler back-mark and a couple of square nails out of the hole. I was 15' from the truck.

SC had a NY company make buttons, I wonder who produced them during the CW? That is a very nice find, thanks.

Thanks for all the replies.
Many of the places I hunt are pine forest, hay fields and farm land. The soil is usually mild and sandy and unless the fields have been heavily fertilized, the relics and coins come out of the ground looking pretty good.
