Eagle Button...Is it Civil War?

[Lowryevans]

I found this Eagle Button the other day metal detecting in a known area of Civil War activity. In fact I have found other Union relics within a few feet of where I found this button. My uncle is way more knowledgable about Civil War relics than I am, and I sent him some pics of the button and he seemed to think that it was not Civil War. There is no writing on the back that i can see.Can anybody give me some help identifying it?

Its an Alberts GS12 most probably post CW. It is interesting that you found it in an area with CW relics though.
