Here are some of my favorite finds from the past few months! 1830s SC vest sized button with gilt1850s-1860s SC cuff button1766 HiberniaSome largies Trelon Weldon and Weill Paris 26mm broken button, was from a SC CSA camp and was at one point a very, very rare CS General officer's button- for the very high ranking officers.And some other odds and ends, pipestems, 1500s-1600s BARTMAN jug part, staff officer's button, etc. it's been good when I can get out!

    Wow, fantastic finds Luke! SC buttons are my favorite for sure, esp. since I'm a native of the Palmetto State. I'm sure those would make Palmetto Digger envious. Man, that's quite the haul of pipe stems and pottery. Congrats.

    Nice collections. I'm surprised the jug has like a titanium luster and is that old.
