all these finds from a crossing of 1812 when Napoleon's army was forwarded through the river Berezina at us in Belarus

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!
