Civil War Relics in Upstate NY???

well I finally did it. I found a Civil War Relic in an Upstate NY Park...
I was completely shocked when I pulled this beauty from the ground. It is in excellent shape with almost full guilt still on it.
B2260...Federal infantry button, eagle with "I", "SCHUYLER H & G / N YORK." dm, two part convex hat or sleeve size, (16mm)
Button depicts eagle facing right with "I" in the shield, generally for infantry officers. Backmark: "SCHUYLER H & G / N YORK." dm inner ring of dots partly obscured by shank well. Scovill produced ca 1860, for small buttons only, (Schuyler.230.Small). Two part convex button, hat or sleeve size.
These go for about $15 on eBay in this condition.

Next popped out a 1899 barber Quarter in not too bad condition... A little worn, but a keeper.


The funny thing is I dug plenty of pennies today, but NONE was a Wheatie...Hmmm.


HH,
 
I button is in great shape.... i have a few civil war buttons but have never dug a barber quarter yet... congrats on some great finds. ...
 
I found a minie ball in a baseball field in upstate ny, dunno how it got there. No action in this area that I could find.
