I FINNALY DID IT...MY FIRST MILITARY BUTTON! I headed back up to the spot I just found the capped bust dime (in the pouring rain). I spent half the day up there and managed 5 buttons and this brass clamp whatsit. This area is huge and it will take a long time to go over all of it. But the highlight of the day was this naval button. It appears to be Civil War era. Scovill's Waterbury backmark. I've been waiting for this day for a LONG time. This button is very awesome and will look great in my collection. I feel relieved, my top goal of the year has been acheived. Any military button. Once again, going out in the pouring rain has paid off. Spring is here and I won't be free to go out in the week anymore. Work season is back and will only be going out on weekends. I'm very happy to acheive my goal before my time is cut in half. Thanks for looking.
