Wondering if someone can help date this. About 3/4" in diameter. Found in my front yard in roughly same area as 1806 half cent and some other flat buttons.

The above site will be of help dating your button. Start on page 12 to see types of backs.

If you carefully clean it with chemicals without scrubbing too much I bet you can still see some gold plateing.
