Bullet ID, top row:
#1, 2, and 4 are civil war era 3-groove "Minie-Balls." Most 3-groove ones are yankee-made. Need precise measurement of their diameter to tell you what caliber they are.
#3 is a rifled Shotgun-slug, dating from the very-early 20th Century up to the present (still being made and sold today). See photo below.
#5 is a mid-20th-Century-to-today "Maxi-Ball," made for modernday blackpowder rifle shooters. See photo below.

Bottom row:
Bullet #1 (on the right from the button) appears to be a civil war era Breechloading Carbine bullet... but we need more photos of it (and its bottom), and precise measurement of its diameter, for certainty of ID.
#2 is another 20th Century rifled Shotgun-slug.
#3 is a 20th Century "semi-wadcutter" bullet, made for target shooting.

The button is a Spanish Artillery button from the Spanish-American War era. See photo below.

Cannonball Guy - Thanks a lot for so much detail, I found 1,2 & 4 at the camp site of the Union Soldiers sent to Minnesota to stop the Sioux uprising - 1862.
The button was found at a farm house in Minnesota - Crazy

Thanks again, great to see so much knowledge here on TN!!
