🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Button dug at james trenchards. The the guy who came up with the great seal of the united states. Bonus for fun. The leg off the eagle from the seal

Cast leg from great seal james trenchand used to live by me and either has a shop or had to dump a ton of stuff on my property . In one really tight area I found a huge amount of weird stuff that ties to him. Anyone recognize the button?

To me it looks like an early cast 1 piece button. The shank was cast as part of the button. It was either poured with white metal; pewter or lead or yellow metal; brass. Pewter flakes and falls apart fairly easy after being in the ground, so I think yours may be lead. It's a nice early button from the late 1700s to the early 1800s.
However this is just my opinion and some one else here may have a different one.
