Thats the least overgrown it will be all year so you march right back up there and hit it till you are loaded down with relics and silver

A cool looking spot. I would hit it hard. The button dates in the 1850's. That type of eagle was used from about 1850 to 1875. The backmark is a RMDC Raised Mark Depressed Channel. Most of that type of mark are 1850's. There are a couple exceptions though. Those being Raymold & Whitlock & HV Allien Your button is probably Scovill or Waterbury Button Co. Kind of hard to tell from the pic.
Go dig some good stuff to show us.
