2 piece button

[Srhoads]

2 piece button found in a forest reserve in Illinois. Idea of age and type?

Indeed, enough of the backmark is visible to say the information from TheCannonballGuy in the thread below applies to this one too: http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/t...erfine-extra-rich-back-flower-front-date.html
So, from the back we know: 1838-1846 by the Wadhams & Webster Company of Wolcottville CT.
But I can't tell what's on the front, so I can't say for sure if whether it's civilian or military.

I think the front picture is upside down. I tried to adjust it but it's a little out of focus.

Here is a thread with a couple more of these, in which Bramblefind posted a link with an undug one:
