The middle two buttons are definately civil war era. The "I" on the one on the left indicates Infantry. I think it would be the more valuable, worth maybe $30? The makers marks on the back could help one of the experts here ID them better. I believe the top one is a collar disc (does it, or did it have a threaded post on the back?) I think it would date to WW1. The E is for E-company, cavalry as GH mentioned. It looks like you've got a nice hunting ground! Nice finds! Whats on the reverse of the bottom item?
