Button found today

[Hill Billy]

Went out this morning to put some seed on a foodplot and brought the detector along.Hit the plowed are for about an hour before I started planting and found this button.The field is on an old homesite and few things have been found here.No coins that I can recall.This is the third button to come from this site but is the only when that can be possibly identified.Anybody that recognizes what it says on the back has some good eyes.Any guesses?

Thanks Zoyboy....the front has been caved in, it looks as if it may have had a design on the front but it's hard to see.

Early two-piece if it is as old as I think it is...

1830's


Great find!


(Toothpick next time and it'll be easier to identify.)
