The eagle pin looks to be a US Navy Petty Officer Third Class collar device.

I don’t really know but I am guessing the Lincoln bust is 1960s. It’s a freaking cool find :occasion14:

I'm pretty sure (but not 100%) that the button is a William Henry Harrison campaign button

The Lincoln head is a wall ornament. You should clean it up a little more and hang on your wall as a trophy. Man, that thing must have given off a hell of a signal. Congrats.
