Field find from an 1840s-1880's ghost town area. I know it's a long shot since it's so toasty but figured maybe someone with sharper eyes can read it or someone with photoshop skills can enhance it.
I can make out an eagle on top and ribbon ends but can't make out the writing inside the ribbon. Definitely looks like a two-piece civil war era button but I've never seen a backmark with an eagle let alone a right-facing eagle so possibly civilian or maybe British.
I think the US Navy in the civil war through WW1 era also used a right-facing eagle as well but never on the backmark itself. No clue.
