Short River Hunt Button ID Needed!

[timekiller]

Yea went to the river today and touched on a couple of sites.But main reason for posting is needing ID on this button I found. Before I start my cleaning.From what I can tell it looks to have a shield or crown with a reef around it and some letters.Does this sound right? Anything good about it?Before I start.

Good hunt.
I'm no help on the button.
Would love to hear more on your river hunts.

After looking more at it I'd say shield and the writing is just above it if this helps.Looks like it starts with a (B). Also is a reef.

The only thing I can tell from the pic is that it's from the mid to late 1700's

A quick drawing of what I think I'm seeing the shield may be a little different.

I think it's a beer cap.

Man I know where your mine is at I was not all there on it either though. After cleaning it some and boy that stuff was stuck on this good.It was not a reef around it or a shield but at least I got the (BLUE) right. Turns out it's a old buckle in the center of the button with (buckle) wrote under it. Sorry Guy's wishful thinking I guess! Now Patch what was that thread you just opened in MY BEST FINDS!
Anyway say's (BLUE BUCKLE ON IT) but I can't find nothing on the company yet.

Is the button pewter? In the first pics it looked like it was pewter with an iron shank. That's why I was thinking it was colonial. Now that it's cleaned it looks like it's iron. It looks more like a cover all button now.

I have found a few of those in the woods behind my house. Blue Buckle was a brand of overhauls,coveralls and bluejeans .
