✅ SOLVED Button help.

I found this flat button the other day at a mid 1700's site. I was hoping when cleaned it was a GW button but there are no visible markings on it. Can anyone tell me what type it is and how old? Thanks.

It's called a Dandy Button or Cloak button. The button dates to the period of your site, 1700's.

That's cool! Thanks! I have not found many objects from the 1700's on that site. It's nice to know there are still some to be found. I have been searching in areas that are hard to detect due to heavy brush, ivy and briers. These places are usually passed up by the casual detectorist.
