My friend trying to find out what he got.. Sorry I only have these photos.. I told him it looks like it was a
two piece button, back part is missing, and it got flatten but I dont know.. Civil war related?

Possibly the face of a bridle rosette. Not military but mimicking military - like a patriotic item.

The image is hard for me to make out but it looks like US military to me

It reminds me of these
ones us military general staff and the other New York militia

Very cool find, stuff like that is what gets my heart pumping. I’d agree with Matt, definitely a bridle rosette although I’d say it could be military, could be patriotic.
