I know it's a pin but it's my first one.

I think and hope it says 1710. The house we searched was built in 1702.
Oops. I mean it's a button
The arrows curve around to a + cross. The size of a nickle
Can anyone give me info?

Here's an older thread with a button much like yours. TheCannonBallGuy identifies it.

GILT
Looks almost like 1710 upside down.

So it's not that early but it's old.
