Civil War Relic???

So found all this on the edge of a battle area in a 10' X 10' flat square spot. There was part of an old pocket knife, an eagle button, a small thing with a square hole, a metal plate with Cornelius & Baker - Philadelphia (Seems they made gas lights in the mid 1800's), and the curved thing I am wondering if anyone has any ideas about. It is heavy maybe brass and has the rectangle slot in it. Any thoughts?
Thanks for looking.

The round thing with the square hole is the flame adjustment knob for a lantern.

Thanks. I knew I had seen them before but could not remember what it was. I am thinking this might have been a camp site area given the stuff from the area. I think I should know what the other curved thing is too but can't figure it out. I thought part of a gun site but that does not seem quite right. Then I thought a hasp part for a locking book but the hinge part would be on the other end so am still at a loss.
Thanks again though.
