Colonial coin

[starwatcher]

Recently I found what appears to be a Colonial button in a corn field. It is either brass or copper plated over another type metal. If there was a stud in it, it's gone. There was no patina on it and with only a water rinse it cleaned nicely.

Any comments to support to believe it is colonial?

Thanks

I don't know if it was a button, but that seems logical.

Age ... it must be quite old for one reason in the pattern. That was a cast button, and the mold was done by hand, because the pattern of the smallest dots are not spaced precisely.

someone should know more...might be early European import, so the England guys might respond

Always fun to dig stuff like that I hope it turns out to be really old and historic Nice

I put a reply in the what is it forum; my thoughts were it is a adjusting knob from a oil lamp

Might be part of a drawer pull.

I believe Ironhorse got it right... the broken-off disc from the wick adjuster on an oil lamp. The design on it and being "dime size" is typical for wick adjuster discs.

Looks pewter tho?

Would they use that for a lamp?
