I'm far from a button expert, but the one that says U.S. looks like somewhat modern military, such as WWII or newer. The bottle looks like a tiny version of old cermic jugs, such as what was once used for moonshine, among other uses. Cool finds!

Yes sir, you found a pair of lapel pins from a relatively modern (1930s-1950) army dress uniform.

The US Disc is worn on the opposite lapel as the branch insignia disc, yours belonging to a GI that served in the Coastal Artillery Corps.

The Coast Artillery Corps was realigned with Field Artillery and ultimately disbanded in 1950, after the threat of imminent attack by Japan/Germany subsided.

If it has to be a "modern" military find on US soil, you found a real keeper.
