Wow, you did really good! Love the script C button. Any discernible back mark? Great Hibernia (half penny?) too. Those escutcheon plates are nice and decorative. All in all a great bunch of keepers. Thanks for sharing and happy hunting, Dave.

Absolutely gorgeous button. I spent 10 of my 24 years of metal detecting on Civil War sites and never found a Confederate button. I had guys digging them all around me and never got my coil over one. It's funny how things work out.

Thanks! The last three or four confederate buttons before the C button were toasted. It was a welcome sight to see a good come out of the ground..

Calabash, it looks like Tice CSC 215A3 (Albert's CS 130). Attachment 65617 Attachment 65618The book states your backmark would be unusual for this button.

No problem CD. I love buttons. I dug Civil War sites for 10 years and never found a Confederate Button. I found Union buttons and a New York Militia button but never a Confederate. Maybe one day me and Danny (Del) could come down and you put us on a spot where we could find one.

When you get ready for a road trip let me know and I will see if I have site that might can cough one up.
