I think the two objects on the bottom of the fourth picture are snaps from military gear like canteen covers and ammo pouches. Can’t help with the rest.

Top left piece on 5th picture looks like part of a safety razor.

The brass comb looking thing is from a curling iron or hot comb

In the 3rd and 5th photos. the large blue-ish green object is the forestock cap from a US .54-caliber Model-1841 Springfield rifle, also known as the Mississippi Rifle. Although originally yankee-made, during the civil war it was used mainly by the Confederates. The brass forestock-cap is worth a good chunk of money, because serious civil war gun collectors need that component to "complete" an incomplete Mississippi Rifle that turns up in somebody's grampa's attic.

Free friendly advice:
If possible, go back and hunt the spot where you found that big piece of Confederate-used brass. If a relic that large was there, it usually means a bunch more goodies is nearby.

I actually found it on a little island out behind a development it’s about two acres and nobody goes to it because it’s sorrounded by marsh and swamp I seen it on maps one year and tried to deer hunt it got the idea to metal detect it and found that. I have ben there twice last time I got no signals at all so far it’s the only signal I got on the whole island but I may have give it one more go and try to grid it a little better
