Ancient coin finally found something really good… I think.

I only ran some water over it, I don’t dare clean it, I can make oht the letters GII or L this was found in rural New Hampshire. Is this a colonial coin or older?

Sorry just a button, as many have already mentioned. I can see the GILT text in the proper style with the rings that accompany nearly all buttons this style, as well as the different area of patina from soldering both in color and raised off the surface ever so slightly. Sometimes things just play tricks on us.

My vote goes with flat button, I can easily see that saying "treble gilt" or something like that, the circles that you see I have seen on many early buttons surrounding the shank, it's possible it snapped off in such a way that you can't see where it did... Something like this..
