Nothing too mind blowing, but knocked some firsts off the list! Like IHP (found 2!) and a nice brass lock (still functional if I had found the key) and a nice anchor button which I know is probably a post civil war item as it's been contested on here and other places, but still a nice button. Enjoy the pics! Oh and 3 more Minie balls.

Awesome relics. Congrats on your firsts. Nice Minnies and that Anchor button is pretty cool. HH
 
Oh and the little object in the lower left of the overall picture is a suspender part. Has some teeth on the back that would have held them tight. Not sure of the age thou, but probably early 1900s like the other finds.
 
That lock reminded me of the one I found. It has a similar name pattern on the front but mine says illinois

My lock is made by Eagle Lock Company out of Terryville, CT. It's etched on the closer. From what I found they went out of business in the 50s and mine is probably an old trunk lock.
