Looks like a plain one piece underwear button to me. Tough to date it without a maker's mark.

These are all from the same site occupied between 1835 and 1842

Early 1800s pewter underwear button. Mold seam is on the reverse. No mold seam on the front. It is a one piece button because...there's only one piece!

Nice find,


Buck

Go back to that site for sure there should be other interesting items around there from that period.
Thanks I wish this infantry cuff button was in better shape
