heartbreak button

[MK_(MO-snakedigger)]

It's been over a year since I lost my job, sold the house, and put my detectors into storage. Last week the movers finally got here (Missouri) and yesterday I went detecting!! YEEEHAA !! About a mile from my house a friend owns a huge brick house that was built in 1830. You KNOW there has to be something in this yard. This house is still lived in and the yard produced the normal tractor parts and misc metal junk. Found a lot of clad but there is so much other metal I didn't get into any deep silver coins. At one point I dug an item that was about the size of a quarter at 6" and as I pulled it out of the hole I saw the button post. As I wiped some of the mud off the front I saw a perfect eagle. WOW !! I'm thinking .. this is a great start to detecting in Missouri. I put it in my pouch and went on detecting. The weather turned to crap so I went home to clean up this button. As I washed the dirt from it the first thing I noticed is that there was no backmarking at all. Then as the front cleaned off and something doesn't look right.... The damn thing is plastic ! The only metal part on it is the loop.. WHY.. OH WHY ???
