First 1800's coin and possible CW Button

Finally found my first 1800s coin at a late 1800s built home. The place is huge, and although about to fall in, still occupied. Even served as a hotel once. Found this 1894 O Barber between the back door and the clothesline. Also found this button, might be civil war, not sure. Please identify if you can. Also found a 24 and 46 wheat. Really am wondering about this button though.

Sure looks like it. How many stars are on that button? I can't make it out too well. It appears to be an 1850-1865 Navy button.

Gribnitz, you're right, it is Navy. It's a Federal Naval button, civil war era. Found a picture of it on the Internet. It is in great condition and I'll have to have it photographed and re-posted. Can't imagine finding this in Mo.
