Uniforms of the American Civil War Buttons of the Union Army
Absolutely incredible find!!! These USA buttons are super rare to dig as they were only used for a few years by the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. They also weren't universally worn as very limited quantities were available so often their uniforms simply had civilian buttons. There are a handful of variants, but they were all crudely cast in pewter and feature "USA' in intertwined letters. This one was in an advanced state of crumbling and I'm fortunate to have found it

We met up with Civil War reenactors who portray both Confederate and Union impressions, and they walked us through what “period accurate” really means from butternut vs Virginia gray uniforms, officer coat details, and late-war “mix-and-match” buttons, to the gear soldiers depended on like canteens, haversacks, cartridge boxes, and buckles. Then we tie it all back to what we find metal detecting, including a closer look at an Enfield saber bayonet (and the exact parts that often survive in the g
