Found one just like it a few weeks ago, folks on this site said it’s a WW1 era general service army button. Congrats on the find

Nice find

I found a similar one a few weeks ago too. Looks to be WW1, great seal button and general service like nuggetdog said.

Any writing on the backmark? Mine is a Waterbury. What it has will help provide a date. Older ones will have Scovill or Waterbury and Scovill with a combination of the word “button”, “co” and/or “conn”

Wow, that cleaned up nice WV, mine has Waterbury Scovills on the back, I also found a civil war era fed dragoon button in the same yard.

Thanks, Luckily it was in a dry part of the old farm. Just a little bit of tooth pick cleaning and a dab of face oil and it pops.

Nice find. how did you clean it like that? It is super shiny.

Your button is a 1902 Great Seal button that is still in use today. Most of those that are dug, are either WW1 or WW11 era. There are little ways to tell the difference as to which time era or war it may have been involved in. You can try Google, or Albert's button book.

Looks similar to one that I found.

I just looked at my Viet Nam era uniform and the design on the buttons is the same. However, they are still shiny brass because they're still on the uniform!

My dad was in Vietnam I found this by the old house he used to live in.
