Found in same field as the 1803 LC. Dandy button with eagle!

[VERMONTPACKRAT]

Found this a short while ago in the neighbors hay field.
Last week I found a REALLY NICE 1803 Large Cent. This button comes from the same field, 100 yards away.

Is this a George Washington button??
I have done nothing to it but a soft toothbrush and some water. Not really sure if I should do the Peroxide on this or not... opinions on cleaning and ID of the button are welcome.

I have been looking arround and I guess this button is really an unusual find ( my head swelling )
Still not really sure what to say other than I guess that all of the other sites that I hit will have to wait for a while.

Thank You to everyone for the comments

I think that I will post it in the Button forum as well.

Here she is all cleaned up..... VPR
