    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). Name: 47238334_10212963841154362_2906839449390284800_n.jpg Views: 138 Size: 37.0 KBName: 47164818_10212963840674350_2603117736087257088_n.jpg Views: 135 Size: 48.4 KBThe 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.
