Wow Dawg That early regiment button is a to die for find for me too ! That Mill Area is an excellent site ! I would just fill a swimming pool with deep woods off and take a dive before hunting there but like you I would not be stopped with finds like that ! I congradulate you my friend ! You are having a supurb spring season ! MaineRelic

Nice bunch of finds in good conditions

The button doesn't look like a typical hunts/sports button. Just going on the image, it might show a pioneer with all his kit & arms in the air for freedom & rejoice (so political could be an option ). That however is just a guess, the backmark makes me think its post 1900, but I have no evidence documenting that backmark so I'm a little unsure.
