these are some more finds from my 1800's abandoned town site. Where i have found civil war military relics the soldier brought home and so much more.
I'm fairly certain #1 is a trigger guard, but from what? Rifle or pistol? could this be a military issue weapon someone brought home to go hunting? or does anyone recognize what weapon it is from? or can point me in the right direction.

#2 i have no idea what it is. The edges feel rough and like reeding on a coin and it's roughly the size of a large cent. its the only reason i mentioned blank coin. I sure thought it was a large cent when i dug it up. but both sides are smooth. there was no lettering, pictures or anything before and after i cleaned it up. I know the chances that it is a planchet or a blank is pretty low. So what the heck is this thing?

#3 Is a small flat button. i think there is enough of the backmark left for someone to recognize it. I'm pretty confident there is a dot then "L &K" and i think i can make out "EL then L or E, dot C" like company. i was thinking maybe scovill but it looks like "E"L not I L. does anybody see anything different? Are the pictures big enough? 4x6 from my cellphone. Thanks so much for taking the time to look..
