HELLO, MY NAME IS MITCHEL AND I HAVE BEEN DIGGING PRIVYS AND METAL DETECTING IN SOUTH MISSISSIPPI FOR SEVERAL YEARS. I DETECT WITH A TESORO TEJON AND A WHITES CLASSIC ID. I JUST UPGRADED TO A WHITES DFX AND ON MY SECOND HUNT I FOUND THIS GW BUTTON!!!!. WE WERE HUNTING AN AREA THAT HAD BEEN DOZED OFF AND WHEN MY DETECTOR WENT OFF I LOOKED DOWN AND THE BUTTON WAS LYING IN THE DIRT. I SIMPLY PICKED IT OFF THE GROUND. MY FRIENDS HUNTING WITH ME FIGURED THAT IT WAS A COLONIAL BUTTON BUT WHEN I GOT HOME AND CLEANED IT UP, WHAT A SUPRISE.....A FIND OF A LIFETIME!!!!!!!
That picture is MUCH better! I thought it was quite pitted seeing the small pic, but it's actually very nice! Don't dare do anything to that one!
Very nice button, luck was with you to have it lying on the ground... I think what Iron Patch is trying to say is DON'T CLEAN IT AT ALL!! IP correct me if I'm wrong

Yep, it's patina/corrosion but definitely nothing worth trying the remove. If anything it looks good adding an aged look. It is well over 200 years old!

I agree ,but I always thought the patina/corrosion would eat into it over time....

It if survived that well in the ground I highly doubt it will get any worse. If mine I'd probably wax it, mostly just for the look.
