Hi all! This is my first post, so please go easy on me, haha. I got into metal detecting about 2 months ago and have quickly fallen in love with it. I got the guts today to ask for my first permission to detect on private land. This is one of the items I found. I'm wondering if it's a military button, and if so, what type (who would have worn it, etc.), and also how old it might be. I did a search and saw that somebody had a similar button, but they didn't post many pictures of it and I couldn't tell if it was the same or not.
It's not in very good shape, but hopefully the pictures are clear enough to get some information from them. Also, I'm sorry, it looks like when I loaded them they are turned sideways and I'm not sure how to rotate them.

I used distilled water and a toothbrush to try to clean it. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to clean it better? I wasn't sure if I should try using a brass brush, as I don't want to scratch it.
