It will take someone with more experience than I to identify your objects, but I've seen field-made sinkers come in a myriad of forms.

Nail covers or more modern bullet related. I've found these before. You have a part of a pack rivet on the upper right marked "Brass."

Cheers,

I'm no expert, but didn't cleaner bullets have zinc/lead washers on them? Visisted Chickamauga yetsterday and they had one of the cleaners like that in their museum, but said it was missing its washer.
