Beautiful button found on Cape Cod hayfield that dates back to the 1700’s. Can anyone help ID a date or origin? Thanks

I wish I could help other than it looks to be late 1700s. The button is beautiful! Congratulations

I seen a button somewhat similar but said it was a War of 1812 rifleman button. Have you ever used google lens, it helps me out sometimes. Just take a picture and google will pull up everything that comes close to matching the description. Good luck! Nice button 👍

Looks like a greatcoat button which has often been called a "dandy" button on TNet. It's a really ornate and nice one in very good shape. They were popular during a certain period which I think was late 1700s into early 1800s but you can check that.

Thanks so much! This made my day!

Awesome find Cahills! There are so many old places here on the Cape, and my gut tells me many are untapped. Continued GL to you!

That's a real beautiful Dandy button, well done on the recovery.

I was on Cape Cod... visiting the Gorey House... Beautiful find! If I move to Massachusetts I think I'll enjoy detecting here...
