VERY RARE EARLY CONNECTICUT ONE PIECE MILITARY BUTTON EAGLE,SHIELD & STARS

got out today & went back to one of my very 1st cellar holes.worked it slower and dug everything.aside from the few flat buttons I thought my finds of the day were the key & small buckle until i started cleaning the buttons.
the last button i was cleaning with just water running over it I saw a shield :o
what a shock when this design emerged after cleaning.
backmark is TREBLE GILT with the Connecticut seal in the shield.
Leddel says it's most likely War of 1812 ish.any other thoughts from you guys?
