Royal Regiment of Artillery Button - Circa 1800

[West Jersey Detecting]

I got out to my favorite detecting spot today. I dug a large copper...It appears to be a counterfeit KG, but it is too far gone to be sure. I also dug a watch winder, and a bunch of buttons including a large "Dandy". Without a doubt, though, the old military button is the find of the day. It is a one piece, domed button. I can only make out the letters "ON.....ON"?.

UPDATE: Thanks for the help on the ID on the button gang!

Sorry about the scans, I am temporarily operating without a digital camera .

Hey Neil, I missed this post when it was first listed and was only able to find it due to your post about the possible regimental crown badge of today. Anyway, that's one of the coolest looking military buttons I've seen posted here on TNet.
Also, the remaining gilt is awesome!

I am not sure if you caught the follow up post a few days later, but I went back and got another one. I am pretty sure there are more, but it will have to wait until winter!
