Found a Eagle Button

[diggerranger]

I found this eagle button today. I came from one of my early colonial spots. It was in the mix of tombac buttons and musket balls. I’m trying to identify. It’s silver plated and 18mm. I can make out ONG on the backmark.
Thank You

One piece eagle infantry. First authorized in 1821, used up until the two piece versions came out in the 1840s. Nice find!
