Sidewalk Tearout Continues With Two Old Military Buttons

[Fingerlakes119]

I got out for about an hour today hitting the areas where the dirt has been moved around during all the construction. I've made some good finds since my original posts, but these I felt should be posted. I've found a few other buttons in this tearout, but they were all civilian.

I think from my research that these are both civil war era military buttons. The small ne is an eagle button and the other as a Massachusetts button.
