The button is definitely a World War One era US Army uniform-pants button, made of zinc. They came in two sizes. The larger size said US ARMY (with two stars), and was for the pants waist-closure. You found the smaller size, which says USA (with stars), which was for the pants fly-closure. See photos below.
