May have found my oldest Button, but need help dating.

I'm in West Michigan on possible old site. Lots of old iron, but not many keepers.
I did pop this cool button, seems pretty old for West Michigan,
Any help dating would be appreciated!

That's really an odd one
The construction suggests late 18th/very early 19th century, but the design looks later.

your dates matches the site, which i'm guessing 1865-1900. Thanks

Yeap, doesn't follow the usual rules, its circa 1880-1910.
