From the color of it I'd guess it's a copper rivet. Hard to say what it came from because they were used in so many different things and sold in hardware stores everywhere. How big is it?
 

The head is roughly around a 1/3 inch and the shaft is around 1/8 inch thick and the length is probably half inch. I'm not home now but those measurements should be accurate if I remember correctly. I'll check again for sure when I'm home. The site is 1890's to maybe early 1940's then the house was taken down and the new house was built about 75-100 feet away from the original site. Thanks for the info and whatever else you may come up with.
