old button, is it military? ID? value?

[SteveDodds]

I found this button in an old cemetery near my home in North Central Iowa. Is it a military button? What would something like this be worth? If it is military, who would have worn something like this?

I just found this website. http://winfield.50megs.com/conlealaw/Box14.jpg Row 3 number 6 looks a lot like it but I am not sure. This website says it is from the british navy. If that is true how the heck did it end up in Iowa of all places.

If its an iron/steel back, I'm guessing a waterbury blazer button (Civvy)

I assume it is that type of back because its pretty rusty.
