Hit a field today and pulled an 1831 matron head and an 1890 IH. I took some naval jelly to that fancy silver gilded button and was amazed at how the details came out. If that is in fact part of a two piece eagle button then it is my first! Can anyone confirm, or help ID and date? The cool thing about that find was that I had just noticed two bald eagles circling high above and my next signal was the eagle button. I almost started singing The Star Spangled Banner right there in the field!!!

Very nice finds for sure...love all of them. Eagle style on your button would make me think its 20th century/Great Seal style, but Dan will surely know. As a quick side note, from your picture it appears your LC is actually a braided hair style from post-1835. Actually looks like an 1851 date to me, which would make sense. Great finds regardless though!

Thanks, I'm sure you're right. I tried to eye ball it in the field before the details started to fade and thought it was 1831 but I guess I saw it wrong. Thanks for theOriginally Posted by BTV Digger

...I thought you corrected this. Lol. Nice largie, tho.
The button as no one has confirmed. I've answered for the same thing a few times (I think on FB 3x....which is not here. Maybe 1 time here... so I know what the answer is). Yes it is a two piece button. Idr the exact dates but they pretty much cover WWI and WWII time frame. Generally speaking tho, it is a military WWI button. Nice find
yes the eagle button as Jim mentioned is post 1902 Army two piece type , the silver plated button is a beautiful colonial "dandy" typeyou did a nice job cleaning it
and I agree with John the braided hair looks like an 1851 , check the date well there is an error on some that year .
great finds
