You could look around on ebay or some collectors on line

Butoon like those were commonly used by the Confederate Army.They were also used by Union forces as replacements for uniform buttons. Dealers I have talked to usually sell them for $1.00 a piece. They are pretty common in North Alabama I've got a quart jar full of them all different sizes but still a good find.
