Went out with Pagordon yesterday to a spot he keeps secret. First off, thank you for taking me there and hosting me for the day! I am not going into details about the location or how the day went or anything like that as that is Pagordon's choice to share. I will however share this AMAZING condition button!! When I first dug it I thought it was some fancy womens coat button or something. Then I brushed a bit of the dirt off and saw the eagle!! I couldn't believe it!! Well after getting home and eating some grub I finally rinsed it off and started to do some research and I believe it is a Civil War Staff Officers Button. It measures 23mm in diameter. It even has some of the gilding on it! I saw the Indian War buttons which look the same, but they appear to have less stars around them and according to Shiloh Relics on the web it should be a civil war era button. Regardless I am pretty stoked and will try and get some more research done about this particular spot for Pagordon!
The site's have lots of good areas you just have to hike a little to get to them. Make next time ill have something to post.
Id be more then glad to swap you guys for a trophy arrowhead/metal detecting hunt in the Susquehanna Valley!!!! Great find brother
