2 id's needed- buckle age/use and possible pendant

[mountainman 2]

Posting this for a friend. He found all 3 items on the same site in a 4 hour hunt. The pendant? has a hunter loading his gun on one side and a ram? on the other. It was recovered directly over a 1833 half cent. Any idea on age and use?
The buckle looks ornamental and is 3 to 4 inches long. Any idea of time period and type of use? Thanks in advance. Not sure why pictures posted sideways. MM2

The small oval-shaped brass object appears to be a mid-1800s pocketwatck winder... with the attachment loop on one end broken off. Many-many variations of the watch-winder's form existed, but they are all characterized by having a wide flat surface in the center (for gripping and turning the winder), with the stubbt little winder-tool at one end and a loop (of sorts) at the other end, for attaching the winder to a pocketwatch chain. Examples of the varieties in pocketwatch-winders are shown in the photos below.

Shortly after the US civil war ended, pocketwatches which used this device for winding quickly fell out of public favor due to the advent of stem-winder pocketwatches, which eliminated the need to keep up with a separate winder.

Oh, look a few of my winders.

Crusader, when I saved that image from T-Net's What-Is-It? forum into my computer, I gave credit to its poster (Ecmo) in the image's filename. If I recall correctly, the poster did not say who those pocketwatch-winders belonged to... or I would have included that info in the filename credit. If they are indeed yours, I'll put your name in the filename.

That was my thought also

The pink flip-flop backing is the clue. I have loads more I could picture if you like.
