Colonial button for the experts!

[Coilcrazy2]

Hey everyone! I went back to the site where I found my GW button the other day and about 50 ft away from it, I came up this baby. I was freaking out because I thought it was another Inaugural button but it doesn't look like that's gunna be the case...it's a little rough but After a little cleaning it looks like there is an eagle or bird design with the bent wings outward. It sort of looks like a war of 1812 design except its much larger. It is approx. 34mm in diameter and weighs about 5 grams( just like GW's) I compared the button to the GW that I found the other day for size reference. Please let me know if you have any idea of what it might be!
If a drawing of what I personally see would help I can provide that too!

Ben, two ideas. Try to do a rubbing of the coin. Also, if you have a scanner, scan it. Sometimes that brings out details. Negative images also help sometimes. Cool looking though. To me I see two wings. Looks to be something in between them up high as well?

I think it's a plow... which is an image that was used on early buttons.

Oh yea, I forgot about the rubbing technique Ill give that a try! and i never thought about the scanner method..Ill try that too. Yea that what im seeing too..Maybe the head to the eagle faced to the side?

Never saw it like that..But that could be it. The 2 "wings" being like plow handles.
