All Treasure Hunting
I FOUND THESE ON ANOTHER HUNT A COUPLE DAYS AGO AND I AM NOT SURE WHAT THEY ARE. I DO KNOW THAT THE ONE ITEM IS A CIVIL WAR BULLET MAYBE FROM A WHITNEY PISTOL? HANOVER, VA ALONG THE OLD COLONIAL RIVER ROAD

ANY OF THE OTHERS I WOULD GREATLY ACCEPT ANY HELP WITH IDENTIFICATION....THANK GUYS IN ADVANCE!!!!

THE TOP LEFT ITEM IS A TRIANGULAR SHAPED WITH A HALF LOOP LIKE A BUCKLE OR SOMETHING? THE ROUND RING IS A SEPARATE ITEM.

THE RECTANGULAR ITEM LOOKS LIKE A BUCKLE AS WELL. IT AS A SMALLER POINT STICKING OUT AT THE END CENTER.

WHAT ABOUT THE BUTTONS?

The top right object might be part of a spoon.
The lower left curved piece might be part of a horse shoe.

Regarding the "horse shoe"... according to BosnMate, who is this forum's Farrier, the nearly-straight lower side of the shoe means it is a mule shoe.

The four-hole button was very commonly used on "longjohns" (long underwear) before, during, and looong after the civil war. So we relic-diggers call that kind of button a longjohns button. But of course it could have come from other forms of clothing.

The very small circular brass object is too small in the photo for certainty about its ID, but it probably either a grommet or part of a rivet-button.

Lafitte Deux is right, the object at upper right in the photo is the broken-off bowl of a Colonial-era pewter spoon.

Need to see a well-focused closeup "straight-on" (not angled) sideview photo of the pistol bullet to tell you specifically what type it is.
