Rare Button Find....

[SCdigger]

Me and my hunting buddy, Russ and his dad hit a new site this weekend that dates all the way back to the late 1700s...

This site is going to treat us nice over the coming months...

We had been digging for a while, pulling things like flat buttons, a coin or two, miscellaneous brass items, when I got THIS signal...

No, it's not Rev. War, Civil War or even political, but it is rare....

Clemson University was a land-grant Agricultural college founded in the late 1800s...it actually began it's life as a military college with a uniformed corps of cadets.

I grew up in Clemson, my dad is a Clemson graduate, my son is a freshman baseball player at Clemson and I still live 15 miles from Clemson....Well, to say the least, when this little jewel popped out of the ground it made my day...

Here's a before and after (cleaning) picture of my C.A.C. button! This is the first one I have dug after 16 years of digging the area. And the first dug one I've seen...I have a non-dug one that I purchased at auction.



Here's a Masonic token I also dug...
