I have been hunting some local woods that were once farmland in the late 1800s and early 1900s. I found a few items that I cannot identify and I am hoping you can help. One find has a handle on one end and a on the other end there are two nails or rivets protruding through the metal. I provided a close-up of the nail. Thanks

Can you identify these pieces of iron?

Second pic is a blade off of a sickle bar mower. There was a stationary bar on the bottem and a moveable bar on the top that was driven by the wheel of the mower. Google horse drawn farm equipment. I believe the last pic is 1/2 of a gate hinge. Hope this helps a little.

JT, Bill is dead on, with his call on pictures two and four. The hook could be from just about anything, like Doc says a farm implement, or a hay pulley? It does look like it came off a rope judging by the circular hole in the end and it looks to be several inches long. Something was probably dragged from it. The sickle bar mower blade is probably more recent than the other pieces. The first picture is the handle to something, but I don't have a clue what.
