Cast Button

[Stuart82]

I dug this cast button yesterday at a early 1800s home. I have pulled many early 1800s flat buttons in the same area. The cast line extends around the shank as well. Looks to have been silver plated. Non-magnetic. Rings up at a solid 60 on the AT Pro.

Any ideas on age. Out of the 30+ buttons I've dug since starting the hobby, I've never seen a cast one.

Thank you in advance. Any info is much appreciated!

Welcome to the world of Pewter buttons. Now you are getting into the really early stuff.
