This variety of rattlesnake button manufacture type is seldom seen or dug that being a pierced see through button pattern. All of these rattlesnake buttons are on a solid disk of copper or brass and are not a pierced patterned exampled as this one shown is. I know of another pattern where only one pierced rattlesnake button exist other than these two buttons the pierced patterned type are almost unheard of. Treasurenet diggers have dug and posted this exact button in the past of the solid type so I thought it would be educational to expose this example to the digging community on the forum. I did not dig this item but purchase it from the digger, but I did condition the button to bring out the fine details as you will note in the BEFORE and AFTER pictures. I am a digger, hunter, seeker and forager of relics using my metal detector but have not had the pleasure of digging a rattlesnake button. I have dug 23 George Washington buttons and my first 33 mm very large Patriotic Rev War period "Bar Button" March 2023 posted on this site. So buy I must to acquire one of these rare type of rattlesnake buttons as it is still in the spirit of our trade as metal detectorist and that is pursuing, seeking, hunting and foraging for what we desire. Enjoy..
