✅ SOLVED My Son Found This Very Old Button

We think we have an idea what it is but aren't positive...found in a yard. House was built in the 1800s. Still a little gold on it. Thanks for any help.

I believe it's a 1812 navy button.

Definitely an early Navy button. Can you read the backmark?

No writing that I can see. Thanks, I think you and DiggerKid2003 are correct.
