1869 Shield nickel, "Sagittarius" button and a couple other finds

[Darby]

Went to our site today that has produced several confederate military buttons but has been hunted hard over the last couple months. It hasn't produced any more military buttons but still gives up a few finds each hunt. Dug this shield nickel, which is only the second coin to come from this site and my first shield nickel! The "Sagittarius" button is a first for me too and I don't have a clue what it is(?). The bead looking thing might be jewelry but don't have a clue on that find either. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for looking!

Thanks everyone for the comments. Still curious about the button, is it just a civilian button or is there any significance to it? Maybe one of the experts will have some info on it. Thanks again and hope everyone has a great day today!
