Cool finds, that coin looks like copper? If it is, it may be a half or large cent depending on whether it's a little bit bigger or smaller than a quarter.

All of the buckles appear to be haversack buckles along with a possible kepi buckle...All from the 1800's. The last item may be some sort of piece of a firearm.The coin...I have NO IDEA.
