I’ve found several buttons worn by soldiers never on a beach thou. Mostly field hunting because their uniforms or parts were worn when they go home on the farm. That’s a nice one.
Bet you never found one like this with wood backing still there...
I have pulled Hessian buttons a usa pewter cuff buttons from the beach...

I dug that exact style button about 15 years ago here in Virginia. It’s a rare one indeed, especially if it has the original bone or wooden back. Artist Don Trioni would be interested in that one.
It was the very 1st US Continental Officers button listed in Albert’s book. Exceptionally nice find so congratulations.

Incredible find! Congrats! It looks like it could be a silver bone button?

That is an insane find for sure. Wouldn’t you love to know who wore that and how it got there? Any rev war button with USA on it is extremely high on my bucket list. Huge congratulations to you
