Default Inniskilling button

Hi folks I found this button today while metal detecting I have found about 30 inniskilling buttons so far in the same small field but this is the best 1 by far and is different from the rest

Hello Les

6th (Inniskilling) Dragoons and in very nice condition for a 'dug' button, shank intact. An early one as well, probably around 1800 I would say. It looks to be silver, if so an officer's button.
