Military Medal Help

[nctrsctr]

Found this digging in the yard in the Swedesboro NJ area. We also have found dozenns of railroad buttons and dozens of military buttons. Also some hem weights but no old coins at all. As far as we can tell the area was all farm fields. Any idea why all of these buttons would be here and what this medal is? Thanks!

Looks similar but the wings are raised with a gap. Maybe from another period.
