Searched a local area today found a few clad coins and a 1934 Buffalo nickel. Also a button that I am unsure about. Any help on identification is appreciated.

Nice finds. I'm still looking for my first buffalo.. Congrats on your success..
 

Better pictures of the button would help. Also backmark?
 

here is another photo of the front of the button I will post the rear later todayDSC01303.webp
 

mid to late 1800s flower button, very nice find.
 

I cleaned the back side with water and a tooth brush and It says Benedict and Burnham Extra. I found that company on the internet and it looks as if they produced buttons under that name from 1834 to 1843.
