Need help identifying this button

[Wheatie]

Here is a button found while metal detecting. It show a picture of a hooded man, with a beard, holding what look like playing cards. One of the cards has a diamond in the corner of it and another has a spade on it. It is made out of thin brass and is 1" to 1 1/16".

Any information is appreicated.

I had a thought today on this button. Has anyone heard of a card dealers button? Worn by the dealer during a card game. This button was found in an area that was used in the 1870's.

Here is another picture of it.

That is obviously a "Poker Jesus" button. Everybody knows Jesus is a card shark.

OK...I dont really know what it is. Nice find though.
