It is a leather rivet of some sort.

find those in farm fields in towns around that area all the time
probably 1800's leather rivet
probably attatched leather that was looped thru a buckle

It is most certainly a leather rivet, also called a "pack stud." 19th c. item in use up through the early 20th c. Some were decorated with starts or flower designs on their heads, as it appears that yours was. It was in no way related to the ambush you mentioned.

Cheers,

Oh wow, something found right in Deerfield. We learned all about the Battle of Bloody Brook in seventh grade, seeing as you can see where it happened from the school. And I agree, it is a rivet.
