I have found the same thing only smaller. Mine also had the star and is about dime size. I thought it was the back of a Jeans button. steve

I thought they were rivets but I forget the company that made them. Maybe a search here with the words star, rivet..

I can't rule that out, but the stem is between 3/8 & 7/16 inch long.
My guess in my case , would be heavy jeans or where BIBS hook ?
