If its not a button what is it?

[RelicDude]

I found this at cellar hole I've been hunting in southern mass in the Berkshire region. At first I thought it was a button but it's not. It has has an r isignia on it could it be military? This item has got me stumped and curious to know how old it is the only object that could date the area is an 1847 large cent my friend found. Any help would be awesome-relic dude

Breezie, remember the cuff I posted earlier. Its a very similar design.

Absolutely but we couldn't really nail it until we had the dimensions. Breezie
