✅ SOLVED Button Help, and U.S. badge whatsit?

[Mud Magnet]

Found this button while detecting an old baseball field, Scovill stamped on the back can't read the rest.

Found this badge thingy in the park. It's about the size of a quarter. Any Ideas?

As CSA2K said, your button is a US Army button from the post-civil-war era. If you'd like to know additional ID-info about it... although there are many variations of US Army "eagle buttons," the exact emblem on your button was in use from 1874 to 1902. It was worn by Enlisted-men rank (privates, corporals, sargeants) in every branch of the army (cavalry, infantry, artillery, etc), and thus is called a US army "General Service" button.

The last one looks like it could be a rosette of sorts associated with the US Army 2nd Platoon 36th Infantry Division.

Thanks Guys. Appreciate the help. The general service button is interesting as it comes from a town that got its beginnings around 1900 and the ball fields where it was found were not established until the 1940's. I'll have to go check it again with the F75, maybe the site was used as a military camp before the town was established.
