Digging a Old Homesite, Found Artillery Button

We are having Our Thanksgiving meal on Saturday, so I took the day and done some digging at a old homesite that I also detected at the other day. There has been quite abit of action around the place including present stuff to some nice CW relics.
The wind was pretty darn cold and it looked like rain or snow was coming, but it was peaceful and I couldn't wait to find something to be Thankful for from the property. So with several hours of cleaning out layers of history, I think I made some pretty darn good finds to share with my friends on T-net.

The best find to me is an Artillery button with a backmark of Horstman.Bros.& Allien.N.Y. this is the second button found here so far. the Dragoon button I found the other day was the first.
I also found a triangle part of a knapsack hook, A brass piece that looks to me like a throat of a dagger or Sword?
a rosary crucifix, Girl Scout medal,a pin that looks like part of a music note, a Lock that reads Eureka pat. May 18, 1884
and a what is it piece that resembles a whistle with a hole in the top of it and hollow in one end, but the piece is pretty heavy.
I also found several wheaties but didn't post them.

I hope you all had a Great Thanksgiving
