here. Any info more would be appreciated.

Howdy nalc472--

That's a very nice Cavalry Officers Button! When you get the back mark posted, I can give you the approximate year of manufacture. Good to see you have your new detector and it's working for you! Best of luck and...

Happy Hunting!

Nice find. Indiana had a great number of troops in the Union army to meet the States quota. The states regiments served all over, Army of the Potomac, Sherman's western Army. Research , you can find more.
