Not sure the material. Size of a quarter. Still has the shank on the back. Can only make out a T and a E on the back. Spaced out

Give us a pic of the back. Shanks are helpful in dating as well as the looks of the back.

Sportsman button from the mid-1800s from the looks. Hunting dog is actually what is on the front.

What you have is called a "Sportsman Button". From the look at the shank and the back, I think it could very well go back to the 1850s.
