Default 2 Civil War Buttons

I got out today with Paco and Keith to relic hunt the farm that has been super productive over the past few months. I began in an area that contained a homestead in the mid-1800s. It wasn't long before I got a nice "P" on "Penny" reading on my WHITE'S. So, I dug down, and was rewarded with my first Yankee Infantry coat button. I then started to grid the area painstakingly slow, while acting suave when numerous cars went by. I was sauntering down my grid path, and was startled with a "Nickel" reading. This relic turned out to be a Yankee cuff button.

Paco, Keith, and I all agreed that this chap came home from fighting in the Civil War, and settled in this historic village. We agreed that he used his infantry buttons on his civilian clothing or quite possibly wore his war coat. Thanks, bud, for dropping two of your butttons!

I will let Keith post what Paco found today. I will give you guys one hint: it was his first....
