The one you found is called a Great Seal Button, I believe they began around 1902, you'll need to clean it up a bit more and look for a back mark and outer rim design for better dating.

Although its not Civil War, its a nice military button ( 1902 Great Seal button from WW1, WW11 )

I enjoy finding Great Seal Buttons as well.
You got a nice one from a historic area, that's cool.
