✅ SOLVED need help with button ID.

This was a button I found recently and am having trouble finding anything close to it as a reference. The button has a 3.5 cm diameter and has what appears to be a sun in the middle, 2 dotted circular patterns and what appears to be corn cobs? in between the dotted patterns also going all the way around. The shank as you can see was a bit off-center and the button is quite large compared to the others I've been finding. Any help is appreciated.

It's an ornate late 1700's dandy button. They turn up at just about every 1700's site. It means you're in a good spot!

Agreed circa 1780s
