It’s definitely not solid gold. I thought maybe plated. I should clean it more but I don’t want to ruin it.

Gold Gilt.
Looks like the gold is fully intact. This will clean up very well with Navel Jelly. Search the "Cleaning finds" sub-forum for instructions.

Thanks Walt, I will definitely go read up on this before I clean it further! I'll post more pictures when I get it cleaned.
 
That's a cool button... Poughkeepsie Military Institute, and the back mark ( Schuyler H & G New York) does appear to date it CW period. Nice digs !!
 
Wow you had a fine hunt! On the first picture of the Indian it definitely looked like a date of 1873, on the second one I wasn't so sure that it looked more like 1890s something but the details on the head stood put more especially the word liberty. Congratulations on a fine hunt.
