I stopped by a place I know after work today and spent about 30 minutes swinging and digging before the thunderstorm ran me off. I found a "pain bullet", one of these small three ringers that come's to a sharp point. Then it got a little better... I found a button back. It is about the size of a quarter and the back, where there is a single metal loop, is grey. There is writing on it. Looking at the back there is a crown at the middle top, then within a circle of dots are the words "Extra Quality". Between the crown and the words and two stars. Outside the ring of dots are some more words that I cannot read. I will take a pic and post it later... plus a pic of the next item...
Then it got even better. I almost threw this one away because I thought it was surely trash BUT... I found a Sutler's token. One issued by "D.J. Church" who was the regimental Sutler for the 105th Ohio Volunteer Infantry... It is a very thin token and I am very glad that I kept it...
I'll post pix later but the token wont show much, we had to maginfy it to tell what it was. Maybe I can get someone to take a pic that will show the detail a little.
The token seem's to be one sided and this is all I can make out on the face... One, Goods, D. J. Church, Sutler; then we read 105 around the edge with a lot of other letters we cannot make out.
I involve my wife in my hunting this way... I let her try and ID things that I bring home and she love's it!.. me too!!
