Relics and ID needed

I've been working a small camp site and have found several suspender like items that I am not sure if they are CW or not. They were found amongst period relics so they may be. The clip at the bottom still had cloth in it as shown beneath it. All of these were found in sandy soil which sure treats brass kindly. Can anyone id these clips? The one on the left looks Victorian but it was found with these relics as well. The second pic are relics fronm this same site from about a week ago. Thanks for looking.

Thanks VOL 1266x. I know they are J-hooks at least thats what I call them. I can id everything in the 2 pics, minus the odds and ends, but I thought it was cool that cloth was still in that suspender clip and if it was CW, then that made it even sweeter. Just wanted to make sure. Thanks for the reply. HH!

brnn53: looks like a domestic site or stuff taken from a domestic site (old house) visited by infantry (minies, knapsack hooks and rivets, harmonica piece) a lot of the other stuff is looks domestic. the large moon shaped hook with point on end is half of an animal nose clip. Wish I could tell you more about suspenders they could be period or later. Modern bullets are not period.

I am particularly interested in the shell casing (rimfire) and can barely see the firing pin impression. Could you take an end shot and post and might be able to identify weapon (it's not a Spencer). probably later.

Top photo; bottom left corner; probably goes to a woman's garter, or stockings. Would date late 1800s I suspect. Bottom pic; bullet w/mouth of case appears to be CW period. Only a small caliber bullet appears to be a fired post war bullet. Lock latch (hole in one end, pointed on the other. Goes to a brass lock). The small diameter tube may be part of a friction primer but I can't tell. Nice finds, keep looking there.

Shell casings are all Henry. Notice the H in the one casing. I am not sure why these shells were not fired. Torn apart to use powder for staring a fire or maybe farm equipment broke them? Don't know but that is what is interesting about relic hunting. You never know. Thanks for looking!
