I recently had the opportunity to hunt a home that was built in the 1950s. On the property is the foundation from a home that was built in the 1800's. Within about 20 mins of detecting, I found my first Indian Head. It was dated 1883. I am a newbie, and I skipped over a whole bunch of coins I wanted to find. I was really excited.
About 10 feet from the Indian Head, I found the attached button. I thought it was just a plain button when I dug it because the top looked plain. I threw it in my keepers pouch and took it home. When I rinsed off the dirt, an eagle started to appear. There's no maker mark. Not sure if it's cuz it didn't have one to start with or if it fell victim to corrosion. Either way, it's a cool button!
