My Most Recent Hunt, Silver Coins, + A Super Cool Button!

digthatbeep · Oct 18, 2016

I got out over the weekend at my new permission, I dug several coins including 3 silver coins & some relics. I also found a really cool button & a rare one from what I've been told, it's a SC Nullification Cuff Button from the 1830's. Thanks for looking & HH!!!

Wow-I've lived in South Carolina my whole life and never heard of that. Sounds like the beginnings of tensions that led to the Civil War:

The South Carolina Nullification Controversy [ushistory.org]

That is indeed a very rare and interesting find-congratulations.

I believe John Calhoun was the one pushing for nullification down here in Charleston. Cool find!

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the kind words. It' such a cool piece of history & it's been a history lesson to me as well! Turns out these were ordered for the Governor & his staff so it was probably wore by someone of high importance. Thanks again!
