Nice bunch of finds! However, I'm pretty sure that none of Napoleon's soldiers were wearing that Defense of Stalingrad medal (upper right center with a hanging loop). I'd keep working that site. Should be good for years of detecting, especially with a war history of at least 150 years.

I've probably crossed that river myself. My wife was born in Gomel. Next time we go back we'll have to meet for a hunt

That is certainly a musket side plate. Nice bunch of finds I really like the epaulettes!
