Found this weekend in Virginia, a first for me!

This was my very last target of the day at the Blue and Gray hunt on Friday....It is a one piece flat button with what looks to be a plain front, and Best Quality on the back along with an eagle....Can anyone give me an approximate age? Thanks for stopping by and taking a look!

My guess would be early 1800's. Nice find!

My guess would be early 1800's. Nice find!

Right on the money. The British used the Eagle on their buttons in the early 1800's to appeal to the growing demand in America. I found a few similar ones, but yours is in much better shape. The coins found at the site mostly range from the early 1800's as well.
