Here is what my father and I found on our first ever civil war relic hunt. Thanks to those of you who helped with my questions prior to going. These items were found with permission from land owner. We detected a site very close to the Cold Harbor battlefield. I do not know anything about the buttons. The button 2nd from right is flat on the front but appears to have gold plating on the back and says "WASHINGTON" on it. The one on the far right says "Barling & Wambold". I do not know if the last one is from a civil war uniform or civillian. There was a house site close by.There is also an iron key of some type. If anyone can help in identifying any of these I would appreciate it.

Thank you! I was very curious about the Barling & Wambold. I looked online and could not find ANYTHING.
