Trying to identify

Joined

Been trying to identify some of my items I found metal detecting. Some I know, but not enough information. I know a lot of my relics are Civil War and everything was found in the same area. So I think it was possibly a camp site or something. The one item is a Virginia State Seal Confederate Button, there's also a Civil War Era Floral Button, and the one item is what I believe is a Naval Signet Ring with a Clipper Ship

Some nice digs. Thanks for sharing them with us. The 3 bullets to the right of the Sharps are post war bullets.
 
The Confederate Navy had a ship button like that one except the ship was facing in the other direction and you couldn't see the square sail on the stern and I think it had CS under the ship. The next to the last thing looks like something you fit a grommet over and then twist to hold it in place; like something you would use in WW2 to hold a tarp over the back of a vehicle or on a ship. I don't know if they date back to Civil War days. The last think looks like it could be a metal fork or spoon handle.
