Queen Elizabeth Button from a Uniform -- don't know much else about it.

I was hunting in the woods today with a new buddy Mark that I met through reddit who is a fellow hunter. He found an Indian Head Penny and I found this button!

I almost lost my trowel because I got tangled in a spider web and a spider was on my hand and the trowel went flying!! LOL

Congrats on the button

My curiosity has me wondering how you know it is from a uniform? Could be just an ordinary ornate button that the clothing makers decided looked nice?

Congrats.

Any pictures of the back? I don't think military button but I can give you a date range. It was the same portrait use on her first coins...
The effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II first appeared on Canadian coins in 1953 when she was 27 years old. The effigy pictured here was used until 1964, with the inscription ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA REGINA, meaning "Elizabeth II, by the grace of God, the Queen."

From what I have seen online, similar buttons appear to be sold in groups and some of them are attached to the phrase "military jacket"..but this one doesn't look exactly like the brass ones I've seen.
