This was found on a site I hunt in Fayetteville Ga. can anyone tell me anything about it? IMG_0037.jpgIMG_0037.jpg
 

Yes! It is military US Army general service button from the War of 1812. And yours is in very good condition. I would lightly clean it with a toothbrush and soap and water, then coat with a 50-50 mix of Elmer's glue and water. Pewter buttons can flake to dust if you don't.
