Hi; OMG it is a Bar Button. It is a New Nation Bar Button with Full Shank to be exact. It is VERY RARE. The Bar Button was created using the Bar Cent Design. The Bars were meant to Represent the Chains that America had broken free from. ie Tyranny. The Bar Cent was made via an Official Government Contract where as the Bar Button was made by a Privae Citizen. To this date no one knows for sure. I have seen 3 to date. The prices range from $2300 - $5700. DO NOT CLEAN IT. !!!!
PM Iron Patch and CRUSADER "NOW" ok. You hit the Jackpot. Congrats. PEACE:RONB

That road has been very good to you. It is holding more goodies for you to find I'm sure. Congrats on today's keepers.

That's a common basket weave pattern flat button dating to the mid/late18th century. Nice condition however!

Congrats on the IHP and the Button.
I hope it turns out to be a rare Bar Button.

The rare bar button wouldn't happen to look like this does it. See pic below. It's one I dug a while ago

Nice date on your Indian, she will clean up nice and a nice button, keep detecting down that road. Then turn around and do it again plus 30 yrds on each side, lol

Congrats on two nice finds. Those old roads can be great places to hunt along. I've found some of my best stuff along them.
