Went out for two hour morning hunt and found a Horace Greeley token and Eagle button. No markings on the eagle button.
It is very strange I found them in same area as I found a USA Continental Army button, lots of Tombacs, pewter buttons, and a Confederate Script Button ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1525453511.545317.jpg ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1525453532.049536.jpg ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1525453554.517991.jpg

Very interesting token! Don't think I've seen that one posted here before.

Did some research on Greeley. His wife died a week before the 1872 election. He lost the election to Grant and died a few weeks later.
