    I was recently invited to a piece of property by a lady saying that she wanted someone to come metal detect around her property, she was curious if there was anything on it.  She said several people had asked in the past however they never showed up to detect.  She called me three times to make sure I would come and on my first visit I found the remnants of an old roadbed and concentrated my search around the road. 

    I knew that JB Hood had moved through this area on his way to Alabama after the Battle of Atlanta so there was potential.  The first visit I found an eagle cuff button so my interest was peaked - second visit another eagle cuff and the back of an eagle cuff along with some carved lead and a NY cuff.  I decided to go back on Monday of this week since the office was closed and began again looking around the old roadbed, I took about 5 steps and got a good signal - a two piece button with a perfect shank attached.  I figured it would be another eagle button but I couldnt tell what it was so I brushed it a little - I saw a star and what I thought was crossed sabers or crossed cannons.  The excitement was killing me so I came on home to look in my button book to see what I had.  I immediatley thought Texas because of the star so that is where I started - turns out the button is an 1837 Republic of Texas Artillery button - from what I am told this is an extremely rare button.

    This is my first confederate button - and so far the best find I have ever made.  Check out the video to see the button straight out of the ground.  <a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/UsMe0NCzh7U" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/UsMe0NCzh7U</a>

    That Texas artillery button is much rarer than any Confederate button. Although it may have been used by a Confederate, that button dates to the Republic of Texas era, when Texas was an independent republic.

    That would purchase many gold coins.

    You probably just found the best find of your detecting career today.

    I would much rather have one of those than an ounce of gold from a long term investment perspective.

       I'm afraid that's it. but it really depends on how bad someone wants it. I saw one button that books for about $8,000 go for over 10 and another that books for about 12,000 go for over 16. It can go the other way though. One thing I have seen over the years is even in bad recessions the price of the rarer relics doesn't go down.

      That's because people who buy such items are not really concerned about a few grand if they want it. A 10k item selling for 8k or 12k is probably just as much about how the bidders day was going as anything else.  The main concern is proctecting yourself with a moderate reserve and putting it where the right people will see.

It can go the other way though. One thing I have seen over the years is even in bad recessions the price of the rarer relics doesn't go down.

    Same with coin investments still go up.  Think about it, those with jobs can either get a couple of % in the bank or collect something they like which makes 20% a year!

    hi, natural forms of gold that exceed more than 7 grams are highly collectable and are worth more than the market price of gold . A few get the best of relics and gold.  Yes the wonderful world of hunting old gold rushes. Interest rates on bank investments are higher than a couple of % in some places in the world.I,m no expert or is this my opinion just "Fact" How much natural gold have you 3 wisemen found?

    That's an awesome find for sure GAdirtfishin  thumbsup

    A question for you, it looks like in your video your using earbuds for your detector headphones, how do you like that setup if that's what I'm seeing dangling in the video  icon_scratch ?

    Keep at that site, I suspect you've only scratched the surface of many more good finds to come  hello2

    You are right, I am using earbuds.  I used the grey ghost headphones for a long time and then switched over to the Killer B's stinger model.  I wanted something smaller so I switched to the buds.  I really like them so far, I have only used them for about a month.

    .....GADIRTFISHIN.....I would hunt that site like crazy.......maybe even dig all of the signals even in the All-Metal mode... this is to eliminate any masking...the Confederate that lost that REPUBLIC OF TEXAS BUTTON WAS PROBABLY WEARING HIS DAD'S UNIFORM COAT....from the REPUBLIC OF TEXAS days.......I am guessing that ....that coat was already old ...at least 25 years......so the possibility of other buttons that came off it are great.......a lot of people do not know......but especially in the South.......a lot of the men came to war carrying their dad's and grandpa's coats, jackets, guns, sabers, etc. .......THAT IS WHY A LOT OF SITES COME UP WITH RELICS THAT PREDATE THE CIVIL WAR........the South was not rich and they encouraged all of the volunteers to bring whatever equipment that they could muster!!.......NOW GO FIND ANOTHER ONE......LOL.....JOE
