1859 & 1860 Indian Head Pennies, 1864 US Navy Monitor Token, Buttons, Buckles, Cow Bell Clapper

Starting to get back into the swing of things with the weather cooling down and bugs subsiding. My second such Navy token but not nearly as nice as my first example, probably holed to void in accordance with Congress outlawing the slew of tokens post Civil War. I like the fancy button pattern. Not sure if the NMC monogram on the buckle is for the owner or a trademark. I'm a colonial hunter first and foremost but may scratch around this newer site to see what else is in there.

I found a buckle recently like the one in your second pic. It still has some of the gold gilt on it. Very ornate. Nice bunch of finds!
