Comments: This fine button was acquired directly from the Virginia digger's family. It will include its clear button case with the digger's label indicating its provenance and other information as seen in the additional images. An image of the button and its description will also be included with the purchase of this button. The digger hunted Civil War trails, campsites, and battle sites throughout central Virginia and adjacent states for several decades. Non-military buttons of this type, and other types are recovered at Civil War sites along with other Civil War military relics. It will be an excellent addition to any excavated button or general relic collection.
