Collection military buttons dating back to the 1400's England and civil war ?

Hello, found this old wood box, looks to be very old, at a antique store, i know the guy that owned them and is a yard sale guy, he is not knowledgable on the stuff he puts out for sale and does not look his stuff up, i always going in his booth as he has good taste for old items , --- i was amazed to find this in his booth, ------- a collection of artifacts, it says on the tag artifacts from england, one looks like it is a U.S button to me, maybe civil war ? i see one button is dated 1484 or 1464, many of the buttons have makers name on the back, even the flat buttons, some need to be cleaned, alot of these were not looked at recently because alot of them were jammed under the wood and felt in the box-------this to me is one of my greateast treasures i have found and think it is very neat, i can post many pictures if i can------anybody knowledgeable on any of these it would be greatly appreciated, date regiment, value whatever you may know about a button, thank you very much treasureguy

I posted links to your post on thamesandfield.co.uk/ and told them to come check out your buttons. These cats know their stuff about the british items. Most of the "mudlarks" have items they've found placed in museums. You never know...

thank you i am getting offers on buttons for people to buy them right now on this site, sure would like to know a little about them and history before i sold them, i see some are from regiment of foot british, they seem pretty old dating to 1780's and up to war of 1812 so looks like some are civil war related, thanks for the site maybe they can come over here and tell me a little more on a few of these buttons, tg
