Pocket watch key, flat buttons, possible military button, and rifle balls. >Pic heavy

Finally cut the hay in a field I have been wanting to go back to. Previously dug a New York Cuff, three ringers, pocket watch, and lots of flat buttons in this site. I beat this place to death with my G2 so I was glad I could still pull a few things with the new T2 SE. The small coil is awesome. Today I got a really neat old pocket watch key, flat buttons, very small rifle ball (possibly shot from fowler), brass knob for something, and a button I just can't ID. Got a little over 2 hours in this afternoon. Input on the small button appreciated.:dontknow:

Pocket watch key still has a hint of the gold wash on it.

Some kind of knob. Appears one side has a hole in it.

Need help on ID for this one. Has something on it, but can't tell what. Smaller than average cuff so don't know. ID help appreciated.

The rest of it minus junk minus a couple of small flat buttons and a few more rifle balls.

Nice watch key! The button "almost" looks like a Georgia state seal if you rotate about 30 degrees counter clockwise. That being said I don't think it's military.
 

Thanks Steve, Went ahead and posted the little button in the "What Is It" forum. Probably too toasted to ID but worth a shot.
 

Nice finds. I like the ornate design on the watch winder. Congrats! :thumbsup:
 

That's a nice watch winder-very ornate. I bet that button almost caused cardiac arrest huh? HH, Quindy.
 

VOL1266-X, Still has me winding my butt and scratching my watch ..... ha ha. Found this NY about 40 yards from the one above and I developed eye strain trying to figure it out this eve. To toasted to really tell.
