I found this button in an area that has been in use since the early 1700's. It is definitely brass and rung up as a penny on my detector. I'm posting both sides so someone out there who is an expert in buttons can see how this thing is put together. For all I know it's only 30 years old!

Old button...but how old?

Thank you to all to helped me with this. I was in contact with an expert appraiser in Virginia who was recommended by someone at the Petersburg National Battlefield. He confirmed what you all had been telling me. It is a button of local manufacture produced during the war (which explains the lack of a hallmark on the back). The estimated value is $125. This is now my most valuable find to date.
