I think it's French. Maybe a coin?  |

@jpk, first welcome to CCF. Second, could you please post a pic of the other side? Even if it is mostly blank, that can help us to confirm that it is a button or pin.

I dug it up out of the Onieda River with my Garrett AT pro. From what I was told and read.. Back in the 1800's lots of military traveled that river. British and French and US military. Not sure if that helps . Lol . Thank you guys for letting me in and trying to help.

It was ringing up a 53 on my Garrett AT pro. Thought it was gonna be a nickle.

Given the location of the find and obvious age, my thought is a French military tunic or accoutrement button. Might try some research in that direction.
I'm thinking 1750's for the era, if it's French origin.

Idk,not having any luck. It seems more like a stone or rock than a button.

It looks like it might be made of lead; my best guess would be a lead seal.
