🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Civil war button?

[tcornel]

Civil war find with I. Appears to be lead and back is smooth. Perhaps some horse tack? Any help iding will be appreciated.

it was found on a known civil war location that was occupied by both sides in the 3 frederickburg battles. The property gave up a retaining ring from a gunpowder barrel.

I was trying to make out the lettering or picture above the letter I. Having hard time identifying.

I'm thinking the middle of a rosette.

Not a button.

It is not a United States military button of any age or type. I don’t think it is a rosette either. It looks like a bottle top, civil war period.

Definitely not a button
