Found this button looking thing

[MackDigger]

My idea what it is? Or how old? No design I can make out.

Two piece button looks like.

When I enlarge the pictures it looks like a 1 piece convex button minus the shank. But, it could also be a 2 piece with the back caved in. Can you give us a better picture?

Are these one and two piece buttons military? How old? Do they have pictures or writing on them because I can't make any out on myn. It's only my first year to detecting so still kinda new at this.

Looks like an old upholstery button to me

Pretty sure its something like a tack & not a button, still could be 100 years+

I believe Crusader is correct... it is the top of a "decorative" tack. The broken-off tiny projection at the center of its back is too small to be part of a button loop, or the attachment-spot of a button loop. I've seen similar saucer-shaped brass discs as decorative tacks on wooden and leather-covered chairs. I've never Saved any photos of such chairs... but Harry Potter is sitting in one when he is lectured by Cornelius Fudge (the Minister of Magic) at the Leaky Cauldron Inn (in the movie, "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban").

I like that photo, of course. But it shows an event at the Leaky Cauldron later than the one I'm talking about. In the movie, after Harry gets off the Knight Bus, Tom the innkeeper takes him to a room where the Minister Of Magic lectures him about running away from home because he "blew up" Aunt Marge. We see Harry sitting in a leatherbound chair with a long row of decorative shiny brass tacks running across the top of the chair's leather-covered back.
