I dug a button along with other other civil war relics on private property in Spotsylvania VA that I need help identifying.
Button is confederate coat sized, has eagle in center similar to drooped wing eagle in center with a circle surrounding it, bold letters around outside of button read METROPOLITAN POLICE D.C. back markings are undistinguishable. I have dug a lot of buttons and judging by its location and condition and by the surrounding relics everything point to Civil War era, but I can not find any info of this button.
Any help is appreciated, thanks
