Very old military button. Civil War, Earlier?

[dg39]

Here is a button I dug a whiile back on the site the Ceremonial Pipe I mentioned in an earlier post was found.
I figure the site was a camp or trade village. There are several fire pits or privvy pits that are waiting to be dug.
Any ID on the button?
Thanks!

Artillery, 1st Regiment, c. 1802-1810. (Some sources say c. 1802-08.)

Great button! War of 1812 era, as PBK mentioned. Better than your more common Civil War-era eagle buttons!
