    Tombac Button. This is gonna be tough to ID

    Well, I was off early this morning in the freezing weather, but was determined to find something good today.Went to an old haunt ( Battle Field Area ) went to the beach at the bottom of the hill and recovered a few things nothing realk good to mention. 27 degrees with out the windchill so I wasn't able to stay very long. I did manage an old dress weight and a couple wheaties. 3 quarters and a couple nickels. I also SAVED this Tombac Button. Please help me ID this one. I took a few pics hoping this helps. Maybe clean it up a bit may help. At times it looks like it has a G on it off to the side,also may have the number 11 ( regiment ) ? also looks like it may have a reath around the outside. My eyes are not what they used to be. Please help. Thanks

    Are you sure it's a button? That swirl kinda makes it look like a three cent piece

    Whydah, that is a very interesting find.

    I wish I could help you with ID'ing it.

    Can't wait to see further details if you decide to clean it.

    Does it have any indication on the back that would verify it is a button?
