Civil War Era Stuff?

[Cisne]

3 objects in the 1st photo may be civil war era I don't know? What do you experts think? All objects have been cleaned a bit.

Circular object in 2nd and 3rd photos, 1 1/2 inches diameter x 1/2 inck thickness, steel. I have not a clue what this is. Help?

The Wife and I found these over the weekend in NC.

The middle item is the end of a chain. There would be a loop on the other end of the chain and the part you found would slip through it to hold it secure.

The center piece looks like a trace chain from a harness, the piece on the right I think is a strap buckle, and the piece on the left looks like a cinch hook off of a wagon. All probably Civil War era or later.

I also found a bunch of melted lead, harmonica reed, as well as a ton of draft horse and mule shoes. All this stuff was found within 50 feet of my back door. I have yet to find any bullets but...

My guess on the piece on the right is a curry comb.
