Here are a few items I found today. The ones I have circled have me scratcjing my head as to age and what they are. Also, the bullet next to the General issue button has me wondering as well. Any help is greatly appreciated. Not knowing will keep me ul tonight. Screenshot_20200816-183918_Gallery.jpg20200816_182016.jpg20200816_182002.jpg
 

I’m not quite sure what the round item is with the numerous holes in the first photo but it is missing two tabs... there should be 3 at 120° apart, It may help on someone identifying it.
The white item to the right of it is a Q-tip. (I just could resist)

The eagle button is a Union Civil War general service button. The bullets look to be modern. I can't tell what the other disc is. If it's a button then it would be at least as old as the Civil War. Nice.

The other disc above the general service button is a dandy button I believe. I have found a similar one before. It has a "weave" pattern on it. Do you believe it is Civil war period as well?

I’m pretty sure that it is a leg garter clip (I think Continental made garters & hose supporters) but someone else may know for certain... could be civil war period and may be even late 1800’s. ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1597631674.131766.jpgImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1597631690.313700.jpg
