Button?

I found this at what looks to be an old home place. Just some bricks and things scattered around in the woods. There is a graveyard about a quarter of a mile away with headstones dating back to the 1850s.

I thought it was a button, but it is flat on both sides. I can not tell if the script is O F or A F. The F seems easy enough to see but the first letter is hard to make out.

Any help would be appreciated.

The penny is for size.
The last picture is the back.

I would definitely say the first letter is an "A". Could this possibly be an older, but obviously not toooooo old, Abercombie button?
 
I will look into that.

If that is what it turns out to be it was in a wierd place.:?:

It helps to have an outsider look with no preconceived notions.

Thanks
