Button or not?

Is this a button. If so is it old?   Just realized I had it. Dug it earlier today with other old artifacts.

I'm not telling   Garibaldi my friend, you've got your answer in front of you and in previous posts.  It's your turn now to tell us what it is and when it dates from, and it will be fun. I'm positive you've got everything to date and identify this.

Hmmm, you got me on this Johnny? This is the first time I posted this artifact, so let me see. Can you give me a hint? or a clue?

Just take a guess .  It's an easy one bud.

My guess would be a button, not that old.  The pattern on top is making me want to think its old. Looks like it had a gold plating at one point. So 1900's civilian button. Anyone agree?

Thanks Johnnyi. 

  great id.  

Wow, thanks Johnnyi. Looks like I am a button expert now. 

Hey Guys I'm going to pput my two cents in. I hope that's ok I think the button is a mid 1800's flower button. Mainly because of the detail and how heavy the gilt is. The flower button were civilian buttons but we dig a lot of them in civil war camps. the came in a lot of different sizes and designs and could have either brass or tin backs. I'm attaching a pic of a similar one with a SC button that I dug in the same hole earlier this year.
