Hey there I found an old ww1 button too exactly like that one. Very nice. Was it made by the Austin Company? Check the back mark

Nice finds! You may want to "forget" to give her the ax head back! LOL. There's a market for them and there are a few on eBay. I have found my fourth ax head in just over a month this past weekend. I"ll be posting in just a few minutes. Btw.... All four were located within a couple hundred yards of old homesites.
As for the button, I'm not sure of the age, but it sure looks like a US Army insignia.
Congrats!
