Old relics?

I have been Metal detecting in my backyard (suburban area) and I have found some interesting things. I’m most interested in identifying the circled item, which looks like some kind of button.

The headstamp is a REM-UMC Shurshot No. 12

That button looks like it may be a colonial era domed "bar" button. If so, that is a very cool find. Maybe somebody more knowledgeable than I will chime in and confirm or rebuke that notion.

Thank you for replying. It might be, but the headstamp which I found near it dated much later so they are probably from the same dates (early 1900s, late 1800s).

I have found modern shot shells along side colonial period stuff.
