Found these items in Civil War area of Atlanta

Found these items in a civil war area in Atlanta.

one is the neck of old medicine bottle using a rubber or cork stopper.
two small caliber fired bullets. Cannot ID these as CW or modern.

The most interesting one is a small six sided button or tack. It is not magnetic and has a slight green showing. I suspect brass or copper. I made two pictures showing front or back.

All of these were found within a four foot diameter circle like area with some old white thick broken potter fragments (not shown in picture).

any idea about the metal item what it might be? A civil war era artifact or just some old tack?

Appears to be a Copper nail for a Slate roof shingle.
 
Maybe an upholstery tack????
 
Nice finds.:thumbup:

The presence of cane lure on the bullet suggest it is post war. (Left bullet in picture)
I will agree that the brass object looks like a tick of some sort.
 
Looks to me as others said to be old roofing tack. But, good hunt anyhow with the silver and bullet. 👍
oops, silver coin was for reference, found that some time ago.
