The 3 button is a rev war British 3rd Regiment of Foot- the Buffs. The M Button is a civil war Confederate Marines button. The Rattlesnake button is a Rev war GA State seal. I had a blast with the Deus this year.

The 61 button is also a rev war British button.

Found this on Wikipedia:

The formation of the regiment was prompted by the expansion of the army as a result of the commencement of the Seven Years' War. On 25 August 1756 it was ordered that a number of existing regiments should raise a second battalion; among those chosen was the 3rd Regiment of Foot. The 2nd Battalion of the 3rd Foot was formed on 10 December 1756. In September 1757 both battalions of the 3rd Foot took part in an assault of the French coast. They returned to England in October, and on 21 April 1758 the 2nd Battalion became the 61st Regiment of Foot, with Major General Granville Elliott as colonel. The new regiment retained the buff facings of the 3rd Foot.[2][3]

It was found near the M Button. I guess both of the buttons could have been worn by the same guy?

The Gas Valve is a (19th century) watch winder, imho.
