Holy cow! I'm not a rev war guy, but pretty sure that's what those are. What a find . . . no, TWO finds! The one-piece design is the give-away, I think. Good golly, go back, go back, go back!!!

Sweet buttons, I can only imagine what is left waiting on you to find it. Good luck

First "US" button with what looks like an eagle on top is most likely an War of 1812 (but they made them earlier say 1808 all the way til 1850) Army General Service button. Came in a few variants. As yours has a back mark which says "United States" I have included a couple photos of known types. I'm thinking yours is like the one on the left. Sorry for the big size but i wanted a good quality shot to show.

and the back

THE EAGLE HAS SURELY LANDED. BIG TIME FINDS.

The one on the left is definitely it!!! Thank you so much!!

Glad I could help. About 5 years there was a similar find on TNET. Furthermore, the other eagle button you found which has yet to be ID'd could also be an War of 1812 button, a 1-piece Eagle Artillery button also with "United States" on the backside. See if you can make out any letters on the breast part of the Eagle (maybe none) to nail down what type you have exactly.

I have included the past thread here:

Happy hunting!
