Any date or mint mark on the nickel? You may have to clean the buttons to see if there are any maker's marks on them.

That little old button appears to be a trouser button.

Buffalo nickels are a fantastic coin. I don't find as many of them as I would like. Hopefully there are many more in your future!

Congratulations on your first Buffalo Nickel! 
The button next to it is probably early to mid 1800s, like Rook mentioned. The ones with the holes I'm not sure about.

It's not a Dandy button but is circa 1830s.Looks like an ole Dandy button. Guessing mid 1800 to earlier. Nice finds.
The 4 hole button went on shirts & underwear, hard to date but probably early 1900s
