Liberty Cap Button

[Shark.tooth]

Hey guys!

I live in New Hampshire and have been digging at a covered cellar hole. At this cellar hole i have found tons of buttons, buckles, musket balls, shears with engraved initials, a 1801 one cent piece. But this piece stood out to me the most. My all time favorite treasure. Dug Saturday 3/8/20

That is a very desirable and valuable patriotic Rattlesnake button with Liberty Cap and Liberty Pole! Put that on the Today's Finds forum. It should be a Banner find
