Pretty sure it's a flower button

Hello all.
My real name is Mike, and I am a MD'aholic.

It's been 6 days since my last coil swing, and I don't think I'll make seven.

O.K. seriously, I found this button last summer, and am simply curious about any more info about it.

I was detecting an old part of a neighboring town, The oldest street in the town and found some other cool things there too.
flat button (not sure if it's as old)
old buckle
1837 Large cent.

Unfortunatly, in less than 1 1/2 yrs, it has been developed, and can no longer hunt there
