That's a nice button. If it was mixed in with coins then I'm sure the shank was missing before the tumble. Still from the same site that you stumbled on recently?

Did you know it was a button when you found it and accidentally ran it through the tumbler, or thought it was a coin? Either way, it's a very cool button!

It was so chunky and covered in hard dirt i wasn't sure. Planned on cleaning it by hand a little first to see what it was but it got mixed in with my clad by accident

A Rifflemans button that is a great find. Ive also tumbled things before by accident but it looks like it cleaned it up nice for you. Well done
