It's a button from "HeadLight" work clothes. Probably dates to the 50s. Do a search for headlight work clothes and you can get more info.

Hey I found one of these just like yours out in a sand dune one day along with a silver leaf that is probably a decorative piece of some sort! I found a internet site article that reveals some more information and it turns out the Carhartt brand bought out the Head Light overalls brand later on! Here is the sites address that takes you to the article: http://www.vintageworkwear.com/2012/02/1950s-era-headlight-headies-vintage.html?m=1

Here are pictures of the one that I found!
