Can someone tell me the age of this button?

I found this great seal button at a site I just got permission to hunt. I don't think it is really old but I've been wrong before. lol The button is a larger size, like what would go on a long winter coat and not a uniform jacket. The only reason I ask is the hunt area had several homes and a grist mill that were gone by 1874. All my other finds there have been appropriate for the age of the site but this button seems too new.
