NEED HELP IDENTIFYING SOME OF THESE ITEMS. OBVIOUSLY ONE IS HORSE SHOE AND COULD BE FROM JEB STUARTS CALVARY WHEN HE RODE AROUND THE WHOLE UNION ARMY CIRCLING AROUND RICHMOND. THIS WAS THE OUTER MOST LINE AFTER THE BATTLE OF HAWS SHOP...INSTEAD OF TURNING AROUND THEY MOVED RIGHT THROUGH AFTER A FEW SKIRMISHES....

THE EAGLE CUFF BUTTON I CAN IDENTIFY......THE OTHER 2 ITEMS?

Or some sort of work animal... Not a cavalry horse...

We need to see the back of the button, but it looks to me like a fairly modern blazer/coat button.

Is the square item iron? Does it show signs of being a buckle? Possibly used on a farm work animal? Just guessing at this point...

agreeing with DC. 2nd button is a more modern button...prob early 1900's or so. The iron piece is farm equipment
