Found this today before the rainstorm hit.
Been metal detecting for over 40 years.
Never seen one.

Yep-Clemson Agricultural College button. for most part, button stayed the same from inception (1889) through 1940s.
Have found a few and I live in Clemson. For some reason , they are fairly scarce given the fact that the coat alone had over 33 buttons on them.

Hi Deep1....absolutely, 100% Clemson Agricultural College. Not trying to debate or create an issue, just educate. Worthpoint, unfortunately is incorrect in their ID. Still a very cool button. I've seen the original school uniforms in person, dug examples myself (coats and cuffs), and seen pictures of cadets wearing the uniforms bearing the button...
