Incredibly rare Confederate Hornets Nest Rifle Corp button

[Gregg3131]

My buddy and I dug what appears to be one of the rarest Confederate buttons out there. Hornets Nest Rifle Corp. HNRC. Only 100 men in the entire unit. Very proud to be part of this find.

edit: looks good to me. amazing find.

Great save but I'm confused (not a rarity) You said you and your buddy dug this button. Could you explain How/why it took you both to dig this. Did you dig and he had pin pointer. Its getting late but I can't wrap my head around this one. Maybe its my Med time.

Hmm looks familiar. I've seen that button somewhere but can't put my finger on it

 

[Maiden2112]

Did you put it on craigslist right when you found it?

 

[Gregg3131]

My buddy dug it. I put us on the right spot. Team effort and yes its very rare as there were only 100 men in ghe unit. Less than 30 buttons are known to exist from what I have read.

Oh OK I understand now thanks. He dug it but it was a team effort. Will it be a team effort with you getting ½ of the $5800 ?

I could never part with it!!.... Would be worth millions to me.... I always value my finds higher than their actual value lol.... Simply because it's mine.... Something that rare would get stored away and kept forever..... To each their own

[CMDiamonddawg]

[I-DIG-IT]

I'm sorry but how is this relevant again? The OP clearly stated what he and his buddy found and how proud he is to be part of this find. Who ever said he was looking for anything?

If could get that much money for a button it would be sold in a heart beat. Sorry, some of us have bills to pay.
