Left to right:
civil war era US Cavalry horsebit boss (sometimes called a rosette)
civil war era pants-waist adjuster buckle
civil war era US .58-caliber Williams "bore-cleaner" Type 3 bullet (missing its "thumbtack" base), and its top is either carved off or flattened by impact. From just the single photo, I cannot tell whether it is a carved one or a fired one.
