Found these in an old park. One is a weird sort of clip and the other I hesitantly say is a percussion cap. It is two pieces, a circular top and a bottom with multiple pieces coming off. What are they? image-2065773829.jpg image-2655923674.jpg image-1230825982.jpg image-1653031706.jpg image-622140331.jpg image-2524099406.jpg image-2913529932.jpg image-3071896632.jpg image-815734407.jpg image-2791799319.jpg
 

No idea on the clip but the 2nd object is a jacket from a modern bullet...guessing at caliber I would say .40 S&W but it could be a .45acp. Definitely a pistol caliber.

Im with leatherneck, first object no idea and the other photos are in fact fired Hollow point bullets from a pistol... Looking at the first one again the only thing that I can think of is a broken suspender clip or broken old belt clip.

First object looks like part of an old shaving safety razor. Unless you have very large hands I can't see the second pic being a modern 45 or 40 round or casing. Looks too small in my opinion. Something like a coin for size comparison would help.

Agree on the copper bullet jacket. Possible suspender clip on the other. Here is a photo of various vintage suspender clips. The one at the bottom right looks close to your find.
