Why do people put snakes on jewelry? That is a cool piece. Even with the snake. I didn't see it at first.

don't tread on me like the rev war button? To show loyalty ??

 

[smokeythecat]

No I don't that's it. I have a ring from the colonial period in brass with a snake on it. The motif has been popular since forever.

 

[Digalotajunk]

Usually the "dont tread on me" snake is coiled, ready to strike.

google Ben Franklin snake.

Wow! Congrats!!!!!

The join or die snake was VERY symbolic, as most things were back then. The diamonds on the back and the shape of the head on yours, seems to represent a diamond back rattler. I do not see it segmented into 8. I only see 5 on yours. And a rattle is not EXACTLY clear. When i first looked at it, my mind went RIGHT to military, though...

Hey Gold is where its at! Awesome job! Let me guess, you were using Round HF Freq 28, React 3 and the gold piece was about 5" deep and VDI read 40?

WOW man, that's a sweet find. Congrats CD.

Looks especially well crafted, very nice casting. Can we see a close up the back? I assume that it isn't marked.

You have really been finding to good stuff this year.

 

[Calabash Digger]

thanks.. it doesn't have a back mark ... video is up .

 

[Digalotajunk]

Awesome video. You guys just CRUSH it!

 

[dirtlooter]

wow my Friend, you guys killed it again! that was awesome! Congrats on the spectacular find! I would call that a Banner find for sure! Holy cow! super old gold plus probably a very symbolic piece as well! Well done! now I have to go out and wade in the mud and water because of you! Being that shallow, the 28 or 14 probably would have nailed it too. very excited for you, can't wait to show the wife!
