Found this button in a park where I found 5 seated coins in the last hunts. Any information on this button would be great. Thanks and HH

I am not a button expert but I think you have a Civil War Artillery Button.

Ranger Richard said:Eagle button. Looks Civil War to me. A lot of folks use scrubbing bubbles (judiciously) to clean these up. I've used a 50/50 lemon juice/water solution that also works well. Let it soak for 10-20 seconds at a time then gently brush with a soft tooth brush. Someone here gave me that advice and it worked well for me. Nice find.
