Found something kinda neat today!

I was in the middle of nowhere, wandering aimlessly, taking my detector for a walk and this popped up.
Posted it in the What is it forum, and the Jewelerguy found a cufflink with the same image.
This one, however, measures 1 1/8 inches in diameter, and is made of stamped brass.

Very nice find.

That really is neat! Don't recall ever seeing anything like that before.

It sure looks like the top to a button that had an iron back. Which has long since rotted away. No idea what vintage though. Looks pretty old.

1 1/8 inch diameter is large for a button. It does look like it attached to something else.
Congrats on your find

Button top is a good possibility.

I think so, too. Bramblefind posted a good reply about it on the "What is it" forum. Thanks everybody for looking and for you thoughts and comments.
