Found this button near Vicksburg, MS. I know nothing about buttons! Civil war era? Civilian or military?

Generally speaking, fancy button, late 18th to early 19th century. Very pretty button.

Tombac - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Just a type of metal, it holds up well in the soil, yours was also plated which makes it a little more unusual.
