Got A Copper Today!
Went back to the site where I found the Pres. Adams cufflinks. I gridded the entire site & was rewarded with what looks like a CT as well as this beautiful ball button. Luckily did not see any bears today or any porcupines.
Any ideas on the ball button for age? Was this a military button?

Thanks guys! No idea on the age of the spoon. I've been told the button could be an 1830's Military Button.

Is there a backmark on the button?
My wife does all the driving, I just hold the steering wheel!

congrats on the Connecticut , Roger . surprising i've seen a lot recovered lately , the ball buttons are most common on dresses and cadet uniforms and i see more silver plated ones than gold .
