Crudely cast... Maybe pewter.
I think I've seen an offset shank like that. Part of a cloak clasp?
I'm assuming you found it in the USA...

Here's a pewter button with an offset shank. Dug at a colonial site in Virginia. I'm not 100% sure on the date but I think very early 1700's.

I agree with Matt, likely pewter and clothing related. 
Nice find,
