Help ID some bullet types and button dates

[Jumpmaster]

Came across a field and found items that appear to be separated by some 30 years. Just wanted to gain some perspective from your expertise. Thank you!

WOW! That is some collection you have here. The second button is a Dragoons one and dates between 1840 and 1854, I think. Can you make out the backmark on it? The first button has me stumped. I thought it was an early militia or infantry button but I can't find an example of one with four arrows like yours. I won't begin to try to Id all your bullets. You should post this in the "What is it" forum where it will get more exposure.
Congratulations on some excellent finds.

Hi; The I button is a classic 2 piece Infantry Button. 1840 - 1860. The same with the Dragoon Button. Both are classic Civil War buttons ok. Nice finds. PEACE:RONB

Maybe an old "Post" of some sort , IMO the buttons do per-date the bullets , (other than Round Balls) also ..
Are those Fired Gardners Digger70pa? I have found only fried ones (about 5) from the same site but it major Rocky & mine are way more Squashed. This has me thinking ''Firing Range" or Unloading Area for Jumpmaster's Relics.
You Got it JM 30 years JM.
Is this near a old Train Track or Wagon Road?
Thanks for Posting.

The Infantry button appears to be pewter. It is a one piece convex US Infantry button and I would guess it was made somewhere between 1820 and 1840. Maybe an expert will come along and be able to make a definite ID. Can you read the back mark? Could the V be part of Scovill?

I thought about a firing range also buddy. That is a pile of shot Gardner's.

I been thinking about this post & I recalled looking at one of my relic mag's that Showed many Variants of Trans -Mississippi Bullets found in AK Mostly but TX & OK seem's imo places these could turn up.

Many look similar but yours have been fired the Gardner's are of interest to me as they look like what is called "Fagans".

Maybe some of the 'Different' Bullets "May" have been made at Arkadelphia or one of the Texas arsenals ?

I'm not positive ,that's what you have in the Gardners ,Different Sharps Variants have been found West of the Mississippi as well a (Marshall Enfield's )& 54 cal Mississippi Rifle Variants .

You also have common Type 3 Cleaners & I'd look into those 3 Ringers more as well.
