If I was around in 2004 to post it I would guess it could have made the banner. It's hard to estimate the value because it's not as rare as it once was, but still one of the best. 10 years ago would have probably been in the range of $3,000. But even today I would need better than that to part with it.

I'll think about the offer.

It's not like your cannon because it's not the same button. 8)

As for getting out, trust me... it does not look like FL here today!

It's big but that cannon still can't steal my thunder!

What might be the amazing thing is it's the only button I've dug with a patina like that in easily over 5000 button finds. The detecting God picked the right one!

IP.. That button is nothing short of amazing. I can't believe the condition right out of the ground! Was it found in a location with known Rev War activity? I'm sitting here watching "The Patriot" on HBO and clicking away on TNet and just came across this post. I love Rev War artifacts and this is one of the best I've seen. Congrats! I'm sure it displays nicely.

Yes there was more Rev items dug, it was a site soldiers settled shortly after the war.

Cool movie!

Found on a day when there was no plan to hunt but I received a phone call and plans changed. Unless there's a non dug one of these somewhere (and I'm not aware there is) I'm pretty sure this is the best known 17mm. That means a little bit more comparing the two (coat & cuff) for this unit because the 24mm is different, it does not abbreviate the word Regiment so they are not just different sizes but different buttons.

PS.. The back is all gilt and has a perfect shank. Dug it about 4 years ago. Other than the dirt this is how it came out of the ground! (Circa. 1776-1781)

A patina like that in my dirt is quite a bit rarer than the button is. Would you believe this is the only button with a patina like this
I've dug in thousands of buttons and the one time I get it, it just happen to be this button. That is some crazy luck but I will take it.
