✅ SOLVED Help with age of simple button.

[Tony in SC]

My place was granted in the early 1700's. Where my house sits was in cotton 100 yrs ago. I kept a deer block(salt) in the yard until a few years ago. I found this button in the depression where the deer had dug around the block. It has a dia. of 17.55mm/.6925in. I believe it to be brass, has a 15 point star burst on the front, the eye is broken and I can't tell if it was cast or soldered. Any info would be great! My neighbor is the last of the original family and I'll probably give it to her. Thanks ,Tony

Thanks for the help!! That's the way it goes, buy some high $ detectors, drive around for miles looking for treasure, and deer dig it up in my front yard
