Lets try posting a pic with help from our Moderator. And thank you very much for putting my crosses pic on the forum.

Here's some of the eagle buttons I have dug, Steve in so az

GRUMP · May 13, 2006

Those are sweet! Did you find them all in the same area?

steve in so la · May 13, 2006

No - I dug them one here and one there over several years time - at 4-5 different forts . Steve

hoser · May 13, 2006

Very impressive. Nice finds for sure. You have a nice collection going there.

Cladius · May 15, 2006

Good going! Those are in excellant condition.

steve in so la · May 15, 2006

There has to be some advantage in getting no rain here

They came out of the ground almost as is, steve

I am curious about the different letters in each button, Looks like an I.R.D.&C. , Maybe Infantry or some thing, I could guess on the rest. But am not sure. Have you found a link to indentify them?smg

steve in so la · May 23, 2006

Yes - plenty of books out there on the initials.

I = Infantry
R = Mounted Rifles
D = Dragoons
C = Cavalry

Hi Steve...

Glad to see you finally joined this forum! This is a good one for sure!

Cool buttons! I got one when I was at a B&B off the Gettysburg battlefield last year but it sure didn't look like any of those :grin:

mega · May 26, 2006

Very nice buttons Steve

WTG!!! Very nice ones indeed!

Krom · Jun 1, 2006

Oh... 4 or 5 different forts. I thought you had gotten those all from the same soldier's uniform. I was gonna say... how deep was he buried? ...or how deep did you bury him? :lol:

J/K ya Steve (you can retain a smile now). Very nice collection you got going, man.
I got me a little collection going myself (I gotta take a new pic and post it soon). To me, buttons hold the slot right next to them good old coins! :yes:

Krom ["Kewl reminder of memories"] (... diggin' coins, that is.

Aguila · Jun 2, 2006

Those are some nice buttons. Still waiting on mine.

Cherry Picker · Jun 15, 2006

Very nice collection

mxtswinger · Jun 15, 2006

Mucho Excellente. I've got one old rusty one from a non battle site. Keep it up!

xlt nh · Jun 16, 2006

Awesome buttons in the best dug condition I've seen...gotta love those relics! Keep up the good work! Hank :grin:

OkieDigger · Jun 16, 2006

Me likey.

steve in so la · Jun 26, 2006

Krom - Post a recent pic of yours - I'd like to see them. I agree with you about buttons being right up there also, steve

Krom · Jun 27, 2006

They're not exclusively military... just my favorites:
(BTW... it says I modified your post. I just wanted to change the "n" you typed in Krom, to "m". Didn't mean to look like Richard Burton in "1984"

)

steve in so la · Jul 6, 2006

Thanks for the correction - soon as I hit the post button I saw my mistake.
Buttons of all kinds are fun to dig. I took all the non-civil war eagle buttons I had - like the one in your pic lower center - and put them on a display board. Steve in so az
