Found these by an old foundation. The material is unknown, appears to be no lettering anywhere. Buckle;2" tall 2 1/2 wide Button; 1 7/8" diamater 1/8" thick. the eagle has a breast shield, round crest overhead, and stalks of wheat (or something) in each talon. Coins found in the area date late 1800s to date

Great FInd but the lack of focus doesn't help with viewing details.

Hi,

Excellent finds! I think the button(?) is a great coat button dated after 1907. I state this date because it looks like there is a circle/seal above the eagle's head. Don't know yet about the buckle!

Your pictures are too blurry for good ID, but I think your button is the first one shown on that website.

HI,

That's a great url/site that TreasureTales posted. If the "button" is as big as the buckle, then maybe it's an actual badge instead of a button! Worth more! Just a thought!
