If you don't know me, I am the 13 year old kid on Treasure net, I have been posting a lot about my grandparents civil war house because I metal detect there every single day after school I found this item in the woods were the soldiers ran away. Also there was a small farm made on the property right after the civil war and taken down in the 1940's. I have found a huge turn of the century trash pit which has 1800s bottles, locks, horseshoes, cattle items, and jewelry. I found these four other items on the property today.

I would guess that your second pic, the one with the keyhole in it, is part of a woman's garter. Just a guess.

Does anyone know what the first picture is of?

No offense, guys, but the object in the 2nd photo is not from a garter... because (1) it is too small, and (2) not the correct shape. It is a corset-fastener eyelet. See the "corset busk" Patent diagram and the corset photo below. The Patent-date is 1869, so your find could go back that far... but is most likely a bit later, from the late-1800s into the early 1900s.

The object in the first photo looks like a modern-era copper-jacketed bullet, with a bunch of concretion stuck to it... but unless my eyes are deceiving me, in comparison to the tape-measure in the photo, it appears to be even smaller in diameter than a .22 bullet, which tends to exclude it from being a bullet.

In that case, then it's the second oldest thing I've found
