One hour of hunting

That's some nice finds :icon_sunny:

Love the patina on relics :thumbsup:

Is the display stand the same for all pics? I don't think it's a pin, but more like a plate. Maybe post a pic in 'What is it?' forum with a coin for size reference.

The first item is a patriotic-themed suspender clip. These were popular with civilians as well.

I believe the second item is an escutcheon plate from a muzzle loading rifle. It would be the plate that is on the opposite side of the stock from where the lock plate bolts on. The bolt that holds the lock on the stock would go through the hole in your plate and then through the stock and screw into the lock plate. A very common decorative item on older Kentucky style rifles.
