✅ SOLVED Military rivet button?

[cudamark]

It's like a jeans fly button by the looks of it, but, I've never seen one before. 15mm across. Any help with usage and age?

Saw nut for a hand saw.

If that's the US Army Great Seal it might be a cuff link or possibly part of a bridle or harness rig.

After a bit of cleaning, it's looks like the remains of a screw back, like what they used on their collar insignia. I didn't realize they used that sort of insignia on a collar....did they?

Depending on size, it could be the button that attached the chinstrap to the visor cap. The OPs might have the sleeve the screw, screws into still partially attached.
