I'm still new to the hobby, but today I nailed multiple bucketlist items! Finally found my first Indian head penny, and broke into the 1800s club. Managed to find 2 IHP's, 2 Crotal Bells, and an old button all in the same hunt! It looks like it could have been a military button? Can anyone help identify this? Looks to have an anchor on the bottom and looks like at one time had an eagle in the middle of it. Kind of looks similar to a Marine Corps EGA. Thanks in advance for the help!

Congrats on all your firsts looks like a good day
 

Button looks very old two piece but i can`t find it in Tice`s Uniforms Buttons of the United States 1776-1865.

Thanks guys! And thanks for looking GAP. I'm not sure what the button is made of, but it has almost no weight to it at all & it feels rather fragile.
