I found these items at an old trail spot. Lots of 1840s 1850s relics found. I need help determining what these things are!

Top 2 pics are a solid brass thing with some fancy design.

Middle two is some kind of silver washed "O" with those clips on the back

Bottom is a brass ring with a sliding brass circle.

Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

Your first one is the guide for a ramrod.
Second is a lift a dot snap for a tent or tarp.
Third one ... no idea.

I've seen the middle one with a picture in it, locket type scenario

The second object is part off of a purse, satchel, or saddlebag... Something like this...

The third looks like it may have tied into a granite post to tie cattle too possibly? Have enjoyed the finds so far though keep us posted!

Agreed item number two was on leather or cloth as a "gusset"

Item 2 is called a "common sense fastener eyelet"
