Found the first one below at our colonial site on Friday where I'd previously dug the French 84th regimental button. After cleaning I noticed a design around the edge and what appears to be a "5" on the front. But I may be fooling myself. What do you think? I also dug a 2nd button with a similar perimeter design on the front, but couldn't see any other detail.
At the site I hunted yesterday where I posted the 1/2 reale, I noticed while cleaning that one of the small buttons had "USMA" and a wreath on the front, and "Doherty's Patent" on the reverse. I figure this is some kind of post-war underwear button, but not sure. Any help ID'ing either of these buttons is appreciated. Thanks!
