Is this a Colonial era Flat Button?

[BenFrankOG]

Not sure exactly what date it is. Flip side is slightly concave with No Markings. Colonial settlers were in this region. It was near a stream, which I will be returning to to sweep over more territory.

Thanks and Happy Hunting

It appears to be an old flat button!

Nice button!! Anything on the front? Give it a dunk in lemon juice to clean.

It's a tombac button, probably mid-late 1700's. Cool button!

Aha, thanks for the Info and all the replies. I have to hit that area harder. I also found a Horseshoe at this same site. Think it's around the same time period or just too hard to tell? I read they are very hard to date.

Thanks again

Here's an old thread about figuring out how old horseshoes are. There is a helpful diagram posted by TomPA on page 1.
