I dug this Confederate officers button recently and wanted to share it with everyone it still blows my mind and was a first for me. I can't believe that a soldier sat there and carved this hole in the front making it look like it's blown out like a bullet hole! I dug this near King George county Virginia and was using the nox 800. I also found other buttons near it and my buddy got a beautiful script I on the same property. Thanks for looking

That is definitely a nice be if a kind find. If only it could talk the stories it could tell. Congratulations.
 
I think if it was a bullet hole, it wouldn’t be such a clean cut and there would be much more damage to the button. Very nice find.
 
Obviously if it's a coat button, and it was a real bullet hole the exit would be in the back of the bullet not the front.
 
That was a very unique find. I doubt if anyone will post another one like that.


You would be surprised what soldiers do with their free down time. In the Army it was a lot of time, "Hurry up!, and wait."

I remember soldiers in our barracks in the 60's would make rings out of silver 50 cent pieces.
