I found this civil war artillary button and several flat buttons field hunting tonight. Remember this is indiana. No battles were fought here so this is a very good find here.
Even though there were no fights, there were forts and camps everywhere! This stuff can turn up anywhere. I've been digging CW relics in Wyoming of all places. Good find!
What a neat find. Sometimes men would bring home their clothing and lose a button or two. I have dug a couple eagle buttons in very unlikely places here in Tucson. Steve in so az
