Nice finds!  What is the letter/numeral/symbol in the middle of the shield on the Eagle button?  Looks like a 'Z' or a '2' in the photo but (not being a CW expert) I'm not familiar with either of those two (if that's what it shows).

It’s an I for infantry

I'm not an expert & I don't have my references handy, but I think they are for a LeMatt revolver, a popular arm for Confederate Calvary. French made and pretty rare find.

The guy I was with told me that I’d find a couple different ones there. One being longer than the other. I think they made them for pistols and rifles but I’m not 100% sure on that.

 The pic is a bullet and case I found at a different location and just put them together to show what they looked like.

Nice finds!   What state did you find those in?  (If you don’t mind me asking)

You know a site's going to be good when you're digging pin-fires!! 

Nice digs, like the eagle buttons and scads of pin-fires, they don't show up out west much.
