This button i found today out in a corn field and practily on the surface, the only thing good today, I've never got one like this with design on it not shur what year it could be around and like to see what it used to look like in it hay days :laughing7: appreciate any help thanks
 

It is a brass 1-piece "flatbutton." I should mention, in case you don't already know, the great majority of brass 1-piece flatbuttons had a plain (blank) front. The raised wreath in the backmark dates your button to being from about 1790 into the 1830s. Its brass body has been heavily corroded by the high-nitrate fertilizer used in that cornfield.
