That is a really nice artifact. I love the marble for color size. Looks like an I or a 1 in the shield.

The condition of that button is excellent. Congrats! (And Keep digging!)

The button is in spectacular condition. The only one of those I have found, the front was roached, and you can only see the wings.

I'm always amazed at what people find that live in dry climates. With so much rain here it rots things so much more.
