Large Copper Button from Old Colonial Site

[GoingDown]

Found in an area of the front yard ... "hit" hundreds of times before .... this large button pops out of about 6 inches of soil. Again a reminder for me that no matter how often a plce has been "done" ..... don't be afraid to give it another go! Can anyone ID it for me?

Thanks,
GoingDown

Nice button. I've been fooled by a few buttons like that this year. They came out of the ground with the shank side down and i thought I had myself a few large coppers. Still a great find. I like finding the buttons almost as much as finding the coins.........almost

Nice Colonial Button!! All the large ones I've dug have no backmark....I've read that they stopped making these in the 1780's.

WTG!
