These are still used today. Those little cloth things that people put over chairs and the pews in churches that say "Reserved" have these sewn in them as weights. I don't think it dates to the Civil War or it would have had more oxidation and come out of the ground white.

I have only found hem weights at old sites. No where else. All of mine look the same as yours.

I found one of those and I'm no where near a civil war area, western south dakota

You don't have to be in a Civil War site to find them. They are also found around old homesites. I believe I read where they were sewed into curtains also. And as fiat128 stated they are still in use today. I got my info about them possible being used as buttons during the Civil War from Howard Crouch's book, Civil War Artifacts,Jonathon.
