What era button?

[lv2sign804]

I dug this up yesterday, but unfortunately it split running under water to clean it off. Any ideas what time period this is from or what type of button? I couldn't find a match for civil war or Rev war.I was thinking maybe colonial perhaps? Any information is appreciated.

I hope I put it in the correct place. It's under Relic Hunters. I'm feeling a little silly, I can't find where to delete this thread. Anyone know how to delete it?

Thank you so much! I was wondering about that.

Could you show us the opposite sides of the pieces, to help understand the construction of it. I'm leaning toward it having been from the "golden age" of gilt buttons, around 1840's. That's just based on the pattern on the front, specifically they often had geometric patterns with a weave pattern mixed in.
I can't rember ever seeing one without a backmark though... but I'm no longer expert.

This is the middle of the button.

Do you think it could possibly be a Hessian soldier's button, by chance? I was just told earlier today they were in the area where I dug it up. Just a thought.
