More Confederate lead

[Digger70pa]

I got out today to my new permission. I had the best day I've ever had for Confederate relics. I found some different bullets today. Big three ringers. I think they're Georgia bullets.

I am healing good from my surgery and you finds are giving me the fever more than I already had. So hopefully I will be up at digging some relics in no time.

I was told it's part of a button belt from the 1880s. I found it in with all of those bullets & a percussion cap was in the same hole lol. I don't really know.

Believe it is a New York militia button, number 30 in Albert’s book. Then again if it is larger than a coat button then could be along the sash buckle someone mentioned to you.

I have no idea. I was told it's 1880's. It came out of a bunch of relics lol. Unless a sightseer dropped it over there.

I was told it's part of this.

Seeing a different pic it is closer to #29. Tice’s book has listed quite a few with multiple variants bot pre and post CW. Great find is all that matters, congrats.

It does appear that it could be that, but the later date does not sense.
I do see what appears to have been four attachment points with only one intact.
I also notice two triangle tabs on the back that may have been attached to cloth or leather.
Interesting find what ever it is.
Is it the same size as a button?

Well I happen to have a few New York buttons so we can do the Pepsi challenge lol.

Yep.. same size as a regular button…
I guess the next question would be did they still make state buttons after the Civil War…. Or even around 1880?

It doesn't look as heavy. The attachment points are small.
