Gorgeous gilted Gettysburg find!

[Ethan S.]

Was on my Gettysburg spot this afternoon when I was in town for half an hour, and after finding a blown up friction primer, I got a really good signal and found an amazing looking gilded cavalry C button! Pretty sure I know which units were there too at the time.

Great find. Whats the back mark?

No backmark that I can find. Back is fried compared to the front.
