Here are my finds from today. Not 100% sure but I think the eagle is a WWII Officer hat pin. If anyone knows for sure what it is just leave a comment. Front and back pictures are posted.

Thanks and enjoy!

Very Nice and a 100 year old wheatie too! Congrats!
 
Congrats on some really nice finds. I'm in no way an expert on hat pins or uniform accessories, but I can see on the back where it looks like the pins were there but likely rusted away long ago. I agree with what you're saying, it very well could be a hat pin. I'm sure some others will chime in with their thoughts. Congrats again.
 
Nice hunt! Love the IHC and pin. Congrats!
 
Nice mix of finds. Looks to be a good spot.
 
Pretty sure Abraham Lincoln had that as his personal badge. Congrats looks like a good spot
 
That's a very nice collection of finds. Boy- That 1865 IHP is in fantastic shape! Nice save!
 
What state do you live in to find these finds? Should be on your profile...
 
Nice!!! Congrats!!!
 
Great coins Well done
 
Love that 1865 IHP!
 
I think your on the right track, but your Eagle item may be a Lapel pin. Hat pins for the full dress uniform, typically had a threaded post in the center so you could attach a screw to it from the inside. It held better that way, because of the thickness of the hat material. Congrats on some nice finds.
 
Nice hunt Scolino congrats!
 
Judging by the attachment points, and the apparent size, I am going to say that one item is a WWI era Great Seal bridle rosette.

Love the little squirt gun, too!

Good Stuff there, Scolino!
