US Navy Button

[Homerun04]

I need some help here guys. Who is a button expert? I dug this beautiful Navy button today, with fine decorative scroll work around the shank. Can anyone identify for me with make and date of manufacture? Thanks.

believe you have a British Navy there, guess is about 1800-1820

Jeff is right. I dug one very similar a couple of weeks ago. Mine was a two piece as opposed to yours being a one. Same design though.

Wow, killer shape for sure.

The soil was very kind to that button. Sandy I'm guessing?

Great find !!
