Looks like a old eagle on one side

You might try rubbing some olive oil on in, alot of times it will highlight it enough to get a solid I.D. Looks like the eagle is of revolutionary war era, to me. Maybe a Rev. War button.

I was thinking a well worn GW button.
But few have the head facing right.

You could try a very light electrolysis session. But be very careful, cause too much time in solution might take away what details you got. I've had really good luck on buttons with a very light electrolysis session.

The wings look different than the wings on the GW eagle buttons. In my opinion.

If you use any oil or water or electrolysis you’ll lose every bit of detail and have no ID. This looks similar to an early Louisiana button to me, actually. I’ve seen a similar button and I want to say it’s listed in Tice.
