Hi all.
I don't find many CW buttons. (Only 4 in 6+ years of detecting) So, I wanted to show off one of my recent finds. I found this at an old home site in the woods.
24mm Confederate cast pewter Infantry button. Best I can tell, I think it's the Albert CS185 / Tice CSI281A1 button.
Overall, I think it's in great condition. You can still see a tiny bit of the gold guilt around the edges near the rim. There is a small hole in the center of the I and a bigger one on the back that are both still filled with dirt. Not sure if they are casting flaws or where the pewter started to rot away.
This is definitely one of my favorite finds. Thanks for looking!
