Help! Is this a Button?

[TheCaribbeanDigger]

Is this some sort of button? I have found 4 of these in my 5 years of metal detecting. Looks like it even had some type of gold gilt. Looks like it was installed like a rivet? Help!

looks like it could be a wizzer to me.
A home made toy kids would put a string through and swing around to make a wizzing sound.
back in the 1800's. that's what I was told about the one I found.
