My best find yet. 1831 South Carolina "Nullification" button *UPDATED PICS*

Yesterday afternoon my fiance and I went out for a dig. It was her first ever treasure hunt We went to a house in town that was built in 1859. Long story short we dug this rare and beautiful button from under a swing set.



It is an 1831 South Carolina "Nullification" button
The pics do not show the quality of the piece at all and I will update them soon. The lettering and seal are very much legible and there is a bit of glit left on the lettering. It seems to be quite rare. I will be returning to the property soon
Happy Hunting!

UPDATE: Enjoy the pics!

Very rare and I suspect worth lots to a collector. Nullification crisis well before the Civil War and your button shows the mindset of the South Carolians that will only intensify by 1861. Great find, true American History...

Wow, that button represents the sentiments that brought on the Civil War. So much emotion, passion, and history tied up in one little find lying in the bottom of a hole! Find more, and keep posting!
