Indian relics from an 1850's campsite

Been hitting this site hard for the last 13 or 14 yrs., but it still produces relics. It is definately getting harder to find stuff though.
Did find a nice frizzen from a flintlock, a piece of a serpent sideplate, a brass ring that had been flattened out and broke when I tried to straighten it, and a couple of military buttons. Most of the buttons I have found in the past were Dragoon buttons but one of these is an Artillery button and the other was in such bad shape I couldn't tell. Also included is part of a copper bracelet, some musket balls and other small round lead bullets and other pieces of lead.

Now that's some cool history! You must have some collection after hitting it for so long. That's exciting stuff to me.

Actually, it was a missing piece that I needed to almost complete one.
