Since I don't have any sites to hunt yet I have been going through some older finds and wanted to share this one.
I found this button about 20 years ago in the Hagerstown, Md. area. I have seen carved bullets and even have a few crude ones but this is the only carved button I know of.
It looks like a soldier may have had some idle time while in camp and decided to remove the eagle from a coat button.
It would have been nice to find the eagle

YeahThat defiantly unique

weird! wonder why someone would do that? wouldn't that be an unpatriotic thing for a soldier to do? ya sure it just didn't corrode off being that the eagle was the high part of the button?

Yours looks to be better cut than mine. How long did it take you?
