Well I dug a couple more buttons that I'm not familiar with. The one on the left is shiny as heck. Both came out of the same hole. Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks.

Odd combo to be found in the same hole. One on the right is clearly a period flat. Based on wear, I'd have to guess the one on the left is modern but the construction sure doesn't look that way. Very interesting.

Left is Tombac (circa 1800), right is pewter same period.

You won't see that shank on a repro! Plus they use NS for the tombac look.
