My first button! Military?

Hey guys Bran and I and a couple other friends went on a hunt today and I pulled this out of the ground. I was wondering if someone could help me I.D. it and tell me the best way to clean it a little better. Its small it looks like its a cuff button of some sort. I also wanna thank Brandon for letting us hunt these spots with him. Thanks Josh

Military Great Seal button. A little soap and water tenderly with a soft bristled toothbrush to free most of the grime. If you REALLY want to clean it up...some blue Navel Jelly will do a good job on it.

Thanks for the quick responses. So is it civil war era?

Very nice button.

That design if I am not mistaken was from 1902- present day. It is most likely from WW1. Nice find
