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!

I had to come back and look at that button again. That’s a bad boy find for sure. Banner vote submitted. Good luck!

Thanks for the banner nod!!!:occasion14:
 

Pretty sure this the first of this version we have had posted on Tnet, so if that's anything to go by, which I think it is, then it's pretty damn rare! CONGRATS

Thanks!! It's a tough button to find info on. I can find bits and pieces of info. It is a very rare button indeed:laughing7:
 

Terrific find. Super rare and historic. Thats going to look nice on the top row. Banner vote from me.

Thanks for the banner nod!!:occasion14:
 

That is freakin cool Banner in my book Well done
 

That thing is just a stunning piece of history. The designer was such an artist.
 

Super awesome find! Rare and historic, banner for sure. Big congrats!
 

So i want to do a quick update on the button. So i can't find much on it. But I was contacted by someone who found one awhile back. he's been following this button for years and he said that this is only the 5th known button of this variety. So this button is so much more rarer than i thought. to think there's only 5 out there is mind blowing to me!!!:occasion14:
 

Not sure how I missed this post until now, but WOW! Fantastic find. Love the style of that particular button. Banner find!
 

Fantastic find! I am a big fan of Rattlesnake buttons, and if I found one of those, it would be tattooed on my other arm!
