Going through my finds boxes and found this one lurking, it's a bit basic so probably why I didn't post it before but as it's quiet I'm getting round to these little jobs.
Birmingham maker Henry Edwards, gold gilt with simple fleur-de-lis.
Found Gloucestershire, thanks in advance.
The fleur-de-lis crest was used by many families.

Thanks very much as always Dave, i'll take a look at those family details later
Thanks again for the ID above, for the benefit of all, the landowner confirmed he still knows that Coxwell-Rogers are local to the area and will be contacting them to tell them of this small but exciting button find.
Here are a few more buttons dug out of various finds boxes, which I hope you'll be able to ID, all found N Glos (the one with the lady skipping I'm sure I've posted previously but can't find it so apologies for asking again).
This is a DEVENPORT family livery button.
The crest is described as "a man's head in profile, couped at the shoulders Ppr., with a rope round the neck Or." (Click Here), and is on this Edward Davenport bookplate....

This is a WOOD family livery button.
Wood families had lots of similar crests, as can be seen here... Click Here
The crest on the button is probably the same as the one shown here...
