Any help with my find would be appreciated.
I was at may parents house and found this button. Does anybody know how old it is? My parents house was built in the 1880's and is in their towns historical society. It was down about 7 or 8 inches by a big maple tree in the back yard. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I figured it was a British or Spanish or maybe button. My parents lived there for 9 years, and the previous owner claimed to live there for 50 years. She was never married and had no kids. So I think it is older than 60 years because it was in the backyard and so deep in the ground. The back of the button is gone, totally rotted away. One person said that it was a British Queen Victoria Button.  I have a X2 larger pic if you want to see it. (its the same pic just 2 times as big)

I think the button has the Bulgarian coat of arms on it, making it from Bulgaria. Nice find. G-girl

I think I need to learn more about buttons because it seems like they're one of the most frequently found items (none in my yard tho). I have no idea what that symbol is for, but I did want to comment on what a nice find it is - the details are lovely! It preserved reallly well!
