Hi all, got out a couple of hours before heading to work, and hunted an older park that was given to the town in 1880. First 45 min was all trash >:{ But then the Garrett was playing the silver tune, :grin: Found my third silver, 1944 merc. Then 30 min later found my first Civil War Button. :shocked04: This one is a Infantry Button worn by a Union Officer. Good hunting everyone thumbsup01 Eric

I know what you mean Merc. Both coins and buttons have great detail in them, and what I like about the button is the research to see where it came from and who wore it.
Thanks and good hunting thumbsup01

Hey Merc, I know what you mean. I like finding both of these old stuff. The workmanship and detail are spectacular. :shocked04:. But when you find a relic like this button, I enjoy researching on line to see where it came from, and in this case, who wore it.Thanks and good hunting. thumbsup01

Eric ,

Civil , Mexican , Seminole , 1812 ,Revolutionary , French an Indian and even further back
although we don't find too much Civil War related stuff up here we occasionally get lucky.
