Hey diggers,
I found this old button in the same field that I dug all those pre-civil war coins. In fact, it rang up like a coin. It is quite heavy and sounds like a coin when you spin it on the desk. The front of the button appears to be solid silver and the back has a pattern of alternating crescent moons and 6-point stars. It looks like a little bit of silver shows through where the shank was but I'm not for sure. Any help I could get is greatly appreciated! Thanks and HH, Dave.

I think its just some sort of coating but havent worked it out yet and UK detector finds dont consider them important enough to log them.Relatively old I would say but its difficult finding any facts about them here.
