I found the button metal detecting, there is an eagle with a skeleton key and a sword crossed with a ring of 13 stars beneath the eagle. The bottom is all messed up from being in the ground, but I was wondering if you guys could give me any info on the age or anything else about the button. Thanks!

Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

Quartermanster corps branch insignia.

Maybe a collar device from WW1 era.
