Looks like a two piece thread embroidered button.

Any way to date these?

Edit: Just added two new pictures. Found another one about 50 feet away. This one has an iron back plate.

Edit: Added two more pictures. I also found this gilded button near them and the iron back plates look very similar.

Thanks

I tried to find a date range on these types of buttons and didn't have much luck.
What's kind of cool is the back is rusted out completely yet the threads are intact mostly.
Must not be a natural source (cotton/wool) as they be rotted away longtime ago.
Good organic soils take 6 months to rot a set of cotton briefs-leaving only the waistband. (tested recently by a farm)
I'm thinking that these buttons might of been on 60's furniture cushions (couch) instead of shirt.
Might be an winter coat of mixed synthetic fibres from the 60's

I tried to do research on them too. Very difficult.
