Humm.. In the pic it looks like silver. Maybe try looking on eBay to see if they have ever sold anything like that before in the past.
The button with the stars looks old also. Note theres 13 stars. Shocked Could be colonial?

It's definitely a more recent item and its not silver I wish it was, when I first saw it my heart stopped for a moment.  Crazy
One thing I've learned so far about metal detecting is you always find something different.

The button is form US  Army early WWII fatigues.   We find a lot of them around here.   If you look at the insignia on the dress uniform buttons, you will see that it is the eagle on the great seal of the United States with a cloud containing stars above the head of the eagle.   This is the cloud portion of that seal and was used for "work" uniforms.    You can see a couple of different versions of this button here

WWII US Army HBT Uniforms

Prior to the outbreak of WWII, the US Army issued a blue denim uniform for fatigue duties and used the cotton khaki shirt and trousers for a summer uniform. In 1941, a green uniform made from cotton herringbone twill (HBT) fabric was introduced to replace them for field and fatigue use. Shirts, trousers, coveralls and caps were produced. The HBT uniforms were issued to all Army personnel in all theaters of operations. The "first pattern" HBT uniforms were made from a lighter "sage green" color cloth. Closure was provided by metal tack buttons with a 13-star logo printed on the face. The jacket had two pleated breast pockets and a waistband. The trousers were constructed with internal rear and hip pockets like the khaki cotton trousers.
