Maryland militia button?

My daughters found this near our Maryland home with a metal detector. Does anyone have anymore information about this button?

Thank you for posting this. Even if this one is post Civil War, we did learn something by you posting.

Good hobby to have at a young age. Cool find though.

We have only found the one so far. We went out into the woods yesterday to search, but no luck

Very nice find, most likely an early Maryland National Guard uniform button, these were made 1870-90.
