Other unknown items from the colonial site

I have identified the brown bess side plate and lead seal. I dont know much about buttons and buckles. Are any of them military? I'm not sure what the other items are either. I would appreciate any help. Thx

In the last picture, the piece on the left top is probably a broken side plate to a gentleman's pistol. You have a group of obvious buttons, 18th century. The two smallest buckles are probably last quarter 17th century. The second row, item on the far right is a bale seal, used basically as a tag for cloth they were shipping and then selling. Nice, nice group of relics.

The first pic I see a drawer knob, part of a handle to a coffee grinder, and part of a lock with the keyhole dustcover attached, and pieces to broken buckles. Not sure what the piece with the arrow on it is.

Hi Smokey, I googled gentleman's pistol sideplate and I think you are correct. Also I had found another piece of that sideplate and it certainly looks like one but I didnt see any exact matches. I didnt have a clue what it was but it seems obvious once you mentioned it. Thanks!

A coffee grinder knob. That is it! I found that knob and pull knob in the same area as a lot of cast iron pieces of pots and kettles. Thank you

First picture - agree the item with the broad arrow mark is a piece of a sideplate from a British musket.
