Old military button

[bowlin7178]

Found this button metal detecting the other day, as you can see it has a eagle on the front and is gold plated, any ideas on what it is?

I believe its an old patriotic button from the 1820's or 30's , the backmark will narrow it down better

Nice old one and I'm sure with all the knowledge here someone will identify it!
