I'm not sure where the thoughts of French or being early come from in relation to the botton posted at the top. Could possibly be French, could be a lot of other things too, but I wouldn't say it's anywhere close to 18th century.
The thought of it being French came from you LOL.

That's not even hand grenade close!

(Looks French)
No worry, I am just asking. I have no idea if its old or modern. It was found on the Treasure Coast so it could be old. I posted here in "what is it" because I have no idea what it is. You say it looks French. I only wanted you to elaborate because the French buttons look different that I posted but mentions splitting of the 8th Regiment at an earlier time.
Myself Im leaning toward a more modern button with the iron back but I dont know.

As always thanks for the help.
