🥇 BANNER Snakes - one was patriotic

[gforce1972]

Was on a group hunt this past weekend down south. Day one, early into the hunt I found this patriotic button with a snake on the rim. I'm told that it's from the revolutionary war. Here it is cleaned up a little with a toothpick. I'm starting to see some shine peaking through. Would appreciate any advice on next step in cleaning/preserving. The real snake was found on day 2. Think it is a yellow rat snake.

I have also found one of them. I found it last fall (I think) and thought it was cool but had no idea of the significance. Great find!

Holy crap did you post that? I love those rattlesnake buttons. I'm dying to find one someday
