I obtained permission to detect an old church ground. I was using the CTX with the 17” coil figuring I would try and get the deep ones since I was positive this site had been detected before. I manage to get one silver a 64 Rosie and 9 wheats all from the 40’s except one was 1917. I came across and area that seemed to be fill dirt and was about to move on after a couple of shallow clad finds when I got a nice deep signal. I was thinking maybe Indian but to my surprise out popped a 1863 Civil War token “Our Army”. About 3 feet from that spot I got a similar signal and again to my surprise another 1863 CW token “Fredrick Miller Lager Beer”. A couple rare finds for my area. I’ve only found 3 prior to this hunt in 40 some years of detecting. I also found an interesting button. Some ID help on the button would be appreciated.
