I finally made it out this weekend. It's been awhile and the weather has been lousy. I went back to my eagle button spot to see if I could pull another one. It was slim pickings but I did get two cuff buttons, a busted coat button, some odds and ends, and a token. I didn't know what it was until I got home and cleaned it a bit. It's in really bad condition but I think it's like the one in the included photo.

Thanks all. This is a strange site. An old home site with no CW interest that I know of. Thought maybe a soldier came home from the war or settled here after the war, but I've found a lot of melted lead here and one big musket ball. I guess I'll have to keep digging! LOL
 
It's finally dried out some around here so I took the day off yesterday and hit this site again. And it was worth it. Got a couple of bucket listers for me.

Made it back to the site this weekend and still finding a few things. Got a couple of buttons, some buckshot and pistol balls, and my first fatty IHP. Going to try and get back there again before the briar jungle takes over!

Another trip and a few more finds. Three intact eagle buttons, a couple of busted button backs, a flat button, and the usual mix of lead pieces.

We'll one more trip to my spot. Couple of bullets, button back, some lead, and a little buckle/clip.
