Civil war era/Indian wars

Did a little searching today at a Civil War era military camp. I need help identifying what the portion of broken eagle was from? I also found the General Service button.

I believe you've found a fragment of a hardee hat pin. Here's a pix of some we found in NV in the past :

Those are some excellent finds, Chris! Items like these, which represent American history, make for some really interesting recoveries.

Grats on the finds! Looks like 1875-1902 from a button ID site I found. Take a look for yourself and bookmark the page for future reference. Hope it helps!
