Found this almost two months ago but my phone was out of date and couldnt download an app to post pictures. This is the "linked states" variety but it has the stamp thru back as opposed to the more common smooth back. According to the website dedicated to GW buttons there are 3-5 known examples of this one. I apologize for not providing a picture of the back, I didnt take one and Im keeping it somewhere safe while I find somewhere to loan it to for display.

I'm still looking for my first real historical find...that's an amazing piece of history

Just keep at it! Half of finding good stuff is research, I'm fortunate im able to put in a lot of time detecting too but with stuff like this it really just comes down to dumb luck. The fact that the person owned one, lost it, I found the site, and it hadn't been detected at all or at least well enough before.
