Early 1800's Navy Button (Old copper buttons)
**EDIT**
So I have learned from some great minds that this particular button in question is an early 1800's Navy button. I was provided a link from a great individual to these buttons. However we still have not been able to lock down a specific date of manufactor on this. reposting here to see if anybody has any more ideas. thanks again!!

Thanks for taking a look at some recent finds. I am one HAPPY detectorist!
Super stoked on the buttons. (even though I am still looking into details on these little gems)
Sorry but the gouge I believe was not by me. (Well 95% sure anyhow) Safely in the middle of a clod... But still makes me cringe a little when I see that. Also some old copper bits I am proud to have in my display case at home.
Super lucky to have these finds... And 99% of the credit goes to another who was really the one that made this happen. (Thanks!!!!)
If 2013 shapes up to be half as good as these buttons, I am in for a heck of a year.
Hope you all have a great 2013 out there!!
