Button in the pouring rain

[rainorshine]

It was raining all mourning but it let up around noon. I decided to go swinging at a local park and as soon as a got there the skies opened up. Instead of heading home, I threw on my rain jacket and kept at it. Good thing I did cause because before too long I dug this nice military button. I'm having a hard time making out the backmark. Any ideas?

Can't make it out but will bet the experts will date it to WWI due to the black paint. Congrats.

I found the same style. The backmark for the one I found dated WWII, but yeah it could be WWI also. Definitely a good sign for your parks potential. Snagged plenty of silver from mine. Good luck!!
