Found this silver button while detecting, anybody know any history on it!? I'm happy with the find and would love to know more about it.

It's possible 830 is the purity of the silver (maybe German?)
 
830 Silver was the Scandinavian standard ca. 1900.
 
That's a nice jewelry-grade button. All hand workmanship. Strictly top shelf. Nice! Most likely had numerous cabochon stones at one time.
 
Nice find ! The style of the metal work is filigree . Scandinavian is bang on for the filigree and the 830 standard . Norway is known for this style , though Sweden may be as well . Filigree silver has been done in Russia and Spain too . Where did you find this ? ( state / nation). Welcome to Tnet !
 
Unique piece.

Nicely done, and all the best,

Lanny
