This button came from an area I have found U.S. general service buttons dating to 1812 also 5th dragoons. Its close to a second Seminole war fort that had Spanish occupation before that. I have done no cleaning. Pretty sure I see a spread eagle.

It looks like an Eagle to me and being one piece it probably dates prior to the 1840s when two piece buttons came into being.
 

Hey thanks.. I did some research since I posted. It's an eagle Dragoons button. 1812-1820 about.
