I find these from time to time. Was there a top that rotted off? What era? Thanks!

I think that is the back of a two piece button. Is there any writing?

No writing, Dave....and there never is. They're usually found at super old sites. They are deeper in concave than the normal 1800s two pieces...almost as deep as a ball button.

I've found those as well & figured it had a light brass top that rusted away. Will be interesting to see what others chime in with.
