Metal detecting at an old location today I dug up this button. Perhaps it is military?

I’ve found too many of them, they look really good. The iron back is a tell. Almost all military buttons have brass backs. Notable exceptions would be iron and tin back Confederate buttons.

Best of luck to you sir!

Definitely a modern two-piece button, probably made in the last 100 years.
Looks to be a fantasy piece. The stylized shield featured in the middle may indicate that it's a private school button.

Thanks, that's some prime information about the iron backs. I'm pleased to put that in my arsenal of knowledge.
