Congrats on a great find! I'm voting banner now. I missed the banner vote for Bill D's Snake & Stars button so I can redeem myself with this vote. The vote makes sense to me. Here's a copy & paste for some information and a link that I posted with Bill's button.

This button is a great find. It appears that the design comes from the earliest known pictorial representation of colonial union (1754) produced by a British colonist in America. The colonist was some average Joe by the name of Benjamin Franklin. Ahhhhh - the history! How cool is that?
I came up with this information when I found my own snake and stars button this past August (same spot where I got the 1877 Indian Head- a banner find). Here’s a picture of the one button that I found:

I think that momentum is a big part of making banner. I got a good number of replies and views for my snake and stars button, but it didn't come close to making banner. It's not a problem. I made banner a short time later. It's great to get recognized with a banner find, but not to get too caught up in the effort. My only goal is to outclass myself and my detecting results from the previous year - always striving to find that other site, that older coin, etc.
