Eagle "I" button in the river, NOT what i was looking for but ill take it!!!

Went gold and sapphire panning yesterday and i was getting really bummed because i wasn't finding ANYTHING . So i got out my detector and started scanning a gravel bar that the ice and snow melted partially off of and got a STRONG hit! Is it a nugget?!?!? Nope, its a button! I always seem to find cool stuff when I least expect it, and it is never what I expect im gonna find, lol! If anyone can see the back mark well enough I would be really thankful for a possible date! Thanks for looking!
