I dug this on Monday. I found it in a small city park in Central Fl that I've hunted about a dozen times. It rang up in the quarter range. It was about an inch down. I still have more cleaning to do in order see the back of it.

Definitely a US Marine Corps button. The closest ID-match I can find for the small details in its logo (number of stars, shape of wings, shape of anchor) is MC14 in the Albert button-book. If so, it is from the early 20th-century. Unfortunately, your specimen is nearly impossible to date with certainty, due the crust which obscures details of its front, and its heavily rust-crusted iron back.

Thanks TheCannonballGuy :icon_thumleft: I'll post updated pics when I clean it better.
