Wow, you did really good! Love the script C button. Any discernible back mark? Great Hibernia (half penny?) too. Those escutcheon plates are nice and decorative. All in all a great bunch of keepers. Thanks for sharing and happy hunting, Dave.

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). 6561765618The 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.

When you get ready for a road trip let me know and I will see if I have site that might can cough one up.
