Not sure it was ever IDed but I discovered something interesting...
This Eagle motif is almost identical to the Eagle on the Seated Liberty and Bust coins, I will post with this thread
Thanks for looking..

If nothing else it might help date the item..

Is it convex or flat? Anything on back? Did you find it detecting, looks very nice if it was buried. Also, what is the diameter?
Convex and nothing on the back, slightly larger than the quarter, as a quarter can just fit in the back

I'm thinking that it is a saddle accouterment off of an "Eagle Head" officer's saddle. Sometimes called a saddle button.

It very well might be, do you happen to know the age of that eagle design, considering that its on a coin, does that mean that its US Military related ?

Seems odd for the hole to be off center for a concho. Is it brass or copper? Maybe some repurposed ornamental sheeting.
