Help Identify! I found this button at an old Jacksonian site. Palm tree with snakes

[Next Generation 1]

This button I found about a week ago with my Fisher 1266x. It has a palm tree with a snake at the bottom or snakes, no back mark. The size of a nickel. PLEASE HELP!!!

Welcome to Tnet.Where did you find it?Sure that,s not a palmetto instead of a Palm tree?

 

[Next Generation 1]

Could be a palmetto, just don't know.

Where did you find it? As in what state? Palmetto is associated with South Carolina I believe.That,s why I asked.

 

[smokeythecat]

Yes the palmetto is associated with South Carolina. Can we see the back?

Found in North Carolina

I didn't see it in Tice's book. Keep it for sure. Knowing what other kinds of items were found with it may help date it.

NexGen,the reason we ask all these questions is we need info to ID.The size is important,as is where found and if any other items were found in the same vicinity.A coin such as dime next to your button can give a size comparison.A measurement with a good ruler is better.A better focused picture would greatly help.Help us out here.

 

[CreakyDigger]

Sweet find, nonetheless!

 

[smokeythecat]

Yes, It is an extremely cool button. I know someone who might know, I'll do a screen shot and send him a pic and see if he knows.

I was just listing out the things generally asked for to ID an item,that,s all.No criticism meant.

None taken. We are all in this to find what we can.

In one aspect it looks like a South Carolina State button, but the more I look, the more confusing it is. I can't find an example of one that the branches extend that far down.

So I'm at a loss.......Which isn't all that uncommon!

The bottom looks like it is split as a 4 leaf clover to me.
