Where to begin? I wasn't going to get out today. Thank God I did! My buddy and I got into a new permission and in the back of their property they cleared a big section of brush and trees. So we started out back. We found some decent stuff nothing crazy. Then I found a large cent, my buddy found a King George 1st copper. About 2 minutes after he dug the KG1 I dug a button. At first I though it was British. It looks like a crown in the middle. Then I saw rattlesnakes and counted 13 dots on top.

I didn't want to get too excited but when I got home and busted out Don Trioni's book Insignia of Independence. I was anxiously turning the pages until I got to the rattlesnake button section. Damn I just dug the best button I've found to date!! A Revolutionary War rattlesnake button!! Bucket lister!

Very nice button was just talking to my friends about hoping to find something from the rev war in 19! Nice find!
 

Congrats on an awesome find! What is the rarity of the Rattlesnake button?

Thanks! I have no idea about the rarity. i was hoping one of you could tell me.
 

That’s a sweet piece of US history.

Congrats.
 

That’s a very cool button, looks like a Liberty Cap in the center of it.

It is. Rattlesnake with 13 rattlesnake eggs up top. Liberty cap on pole in the middle.
 

I'm sure it's not common, but I wouldn't care how rare it is. It's just beyond cool. Wow.
 

I don't know about rarity but I do know that I will probably never find one down here in south Georgia. Albert's lists the button but does not give a relative value that would indicate its rarity.

What does Albert's say about the button? I can't find any info on it besides the Don Trioni book.
 

BANNER Vote! :notworthy:
 

Awesome find! Can you imagine the history behind this? What soldier had this pop off his uniform, and how long it lay undisturbed for all these years?
I dream of finding something like this!
