I was surprised to find it's as old as it is. The area I found this has some mining history, but, nothing as old as the 1820's when this was used. It's easy to find a 200 year old button in England. Not so easy here in San Diego. It says United States on the back side.
great save for sure. its in such good condition, wtg

Well dug on the button.
You might dig older in England, but it's hard to beat the condition of this beauty. Congrats
