I found this general service eagle button at the "marble field" today. I usually just walk around and eyeball marbles on the surface, but i decided to bring the detector with me today, and it payed off. The button has a "Quality" backmark on it IMG_0511.JPG

There was a company name on the back, just the word "Quality". Either way, its a Civil War era button by the type of eagle on it

no offense but they used that type of eagle up into the 1870's. 1878 I think. The backmark is more than likely EXTRA QUALITY and that button is more than likely civil war
