I scored this beauty today with the Garrett Ace Apex! Found out it’s very rare, being told only 1 of 8 known to exist!

Sgt. Whitey, first a Big Welcome to You to the Tnet forum from Georgia. Secondly, Congrat's to you on one Great Save on the N.C. SunTrust button. She's a real beaut and a great piece of History. One of my hunting pards dug a Sunburst button years ago at the edge of a field we were hunting.
 

Wow! Nice Button... sure hope it's a genuine one! Congratulations! Welcome to the forum from Oregon!

Hey beautiful button I’m just wondering if you have found the real deal or one that was made more recently

Welcome sir.

That’s something special. Congrats.
 

Great button. Banner vote in!
 

WOW! Really super find! What is the back story? What type of site did you find it in? How deep? What did it sound like? I can never seem to find many buttons so I live vicariously through everyone else :laughing7:
 

Thank you so much. I am already SUB'd to your channel. I only know of one other one and that is the one that is pictured in the book "NORTH CAROLINA CIVIL WAR BUTTONS" Written by the late C. Terry Teff.

Great question BLK HOLE.... It was on a 1914 soil survey. I didn't expect much but MAYBE just early 1900 to late 1880's stuff. I was shocked at all I have dug there. I generate another post of everything I have dug from this one site.

Yes the PINETREE one is super rare too. But you can find examples of them online and a few have been found. This one, other than mine and the one in the book written by the late C. Terry Teff - "NORTH CAROLINA CIVIL WAR BUTTONS" are the ONLY two I can see.

Very interesting button! The button is very close in lettering characteristics to the North Carolina pine tree Civil War button. The stipple dots around the lettering are very similar too. The NC pine tree button is a holy grail button for collectors and diggers. The center rays look more like a sunburst as you say. The star pattern looks similar to the pine tree button which has 5 stars on bottom.

I just replied with the full follow up story to this post. It was about 4-5 inches down. It was a solid 76 on the ACE APEX with is like an Indian Penny or other flat buttons.
