This is the first time I found a flat button with a "gem" in the middle of it. From the scratches I would guess maybe a glass of some kind? I found it in the same civil war camp site that I have been hunting for months now, it coming to an end unfortunately. There was an old house site in the area, pre civil war I believe. May the button came from there. I also came up with a few eagle buttons and bullets.

When I first found it there was still some gold around the center with the stone, as soon as I started cleaning it came off.

20170424_183526.jpg Couple of Eagle Buttons are always good to find.

Another great group of finds David. It will be tough when all you can do is ride through that neighborhood, but you have had a great ride so far. Love the lock.
