Tiny Button

[Royn2751]

I dug this in a field that has produced KG II 1/2 penny, 1854 1/2 Dime, Civil War artifacts and several flat buttons. It's bronze with evidence of a silver wash. The shank is broken off. I'm stumped. Any ideas?

Yes but the reverse tell us if its a 1 piece or 2 piece which you fail to mention.

I'm thinking it's the third picture. Looks like a one piece Cru, but it needs to be cleaned up a bit also.

Yeap, missed that as it was blown up, so thought it something different. At least we now know its circa 1830 civilian.

Thanks for the ID. We all love finding something odd. It's so much more gratifying to nail down it's age and origin. Happy digging.
