Military button

I was detecting my parents yard to day and found this button. It has a threaded shank and I have no idea how old it is,

Nice find WWI button find Spad.
I'm thinking this is a WWI Army uniform collar insignia disc.

Nice find,

Certainly looks to be post 1903. Can you provide a more clear picture of the front and a picture of the back?
