I think you have a Washington inaugural button there. That is an excellent find! You might want to post it in the What is it section for a definite identification. What Is It?

On First sight , I thought George Washington Inaugural..

Seem's to have been bent , but has GREAT detail , I never dug one 'they are mostly found in the NE US.

Most Go as Banner Finds IMO 'Maybe depending on the Type'

An LC, KG & That --WOW!
