Button ID help needed.....:confused:

[ColonialEraHunter]

Recently me and my detecting friend CELLARHOLERAT found a couple of buttons while detecting an old cellar hole in upstate New York. I was wondering if anyone could help with identification. The first button looks to be an early navy button with an eagle on an anchor with 15 stars encircling it that I found with my F75.

The next button is a one piece button about the size of a quarter that appears to be silver guilted, with a side view of an eagle on a branch in the center and an eagle with it's wings spread above it and was found by CELLARHOLERAT.

I could not find either variety in my Alberts button book and any help in identification is appreciated. I will be writing a post soon showing some more of my F75 finds from some of our hamered sites....

That's definitely an early Navy....a nice one, especially if you didn't find it in Albert's. It does look different than Alberts NA-86 to NA 87's. Pre-Civil War...could be War of 1812 era even? (I'll poke around later for more if possible...)
The 2nd one does not appear military to me, but looks very cool. Possibly political which is just about as collectible as military...especially the presidential/inaugural ones.

1812-1823 it was in use. Nice find

The second one with the belt border looks like a Scottich Clan crest??

If you're more patient than me you can vist this site and click on each surname for the crest.
