Military button

[Spadinator]

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,

They used threaded shank around WW1. Don't know how long before or after though. Gary

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

Nice find,
Dave

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