Civil War Marine Button

[foreverRich]

Got a chance to hunt an old house on Main St. in Suffolk. Figured it had been hunted before, but wasn't about to give up the chance to hunt it. Since it was close to Riddick's Folly, I knew it had potential. I was right. Found one Civil War era button. Also found a token. Needless to say there was plenty of trash, but certainly worth the effort. Ran out of daylight, so intend to hit it again tomorrow. Here is what I found.

The ground was very good to those finds. Very nice indeed.

I think you need to check the backmark in Albert's reference book on military US buttons. I believe (not positive) that is a post-CW backmark. I have hundreds of CW buttons, and Waterbury used a very different backmark during the 1861-1865 time frame.

In any event, nice. I would love to find one with the anchor on it.

What kind of metal detector were you using when you found your finds, and how deep where they? Please post more finds from that site.
