My old eyes can't make out the detail on your button. Can you give us any idea of what it may be?

Unfortunately, your picture is very small and even with my 'cleaning it up', the details are still out of focus. :icon_scratch:
Try taking a pic in natural sunlight with a closer shot of the button and less of your hand.

As Kellam suggested, it's likely pewter, 18thc or earlier in date, no idea on the design.

Nice colonial one piece cast eye shank button with visible mold seam, 17th to mid 18th century.
