Hello everyone. I have been metal detecting for about one year or so but have always LOVED history, especially history that I can actually put my hands on. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to what these items might be. The first one is a flat metal plate with what looks like the Anheiser Busch logo. It was dug at an early 1900's train station along with a WWI era army button. The other two were dug at a mid to late 1800's home site with a Mississippi Volunteer Militia Civil War era muffin button. I believe the long skinny piece might be what was used to adjust wicks on old oil lantern or lamp. The piece with the "eyes" on either end has me puzzled. It has been hit and bent with farm equipment and is heavy, possibly made of lead Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

My guess on your last item is that it is part of a fishing lure.

The object on the right looks like a lead fishing weight that got bent.
