Hello, I was hoping to get a little info on some recent items I just acquired. As you can see this fella did some serious metal detecting and I was told he hunted a lot of civil war campgrounds.
I have a few pieces figured out but I need a little help on others.

The long flat pieces are harmonica parts. The slots once held the reeds.

Shoe buckles, garment adjusting pieces , The couple hook with flat button things might be for old bottle stoppers.
Sorry I don't recall the proper name for knife or sword scabbard tip ..the pointed hollow piece with two holes in it.
Misc. Fasteners for flaps.
A mix of ages there.

You have suspender buckles, J hooks, a ball puller, harmonica reeds, a broken horseshoe, sword belt rivet, those are the ones I recognize right off hand
