It's a mid1900's sewing button for a shirt or blazer and is probably made of metalized plastic. Fairly common in the '50's and '60s it is hard plastic with a copper like coating over it. They will read good on a detector. Lots of times when they are dug the coating will be peeling away from the plastic
