I think the first (?) item looks like the metal end piece of a pocket knife with a rivet hole in it, possibly part of the rivet still in it. It would have had plastic, bone or ivory inlay for the handle, shaped into the V section. You have at least 2 pocket knives there, I wonder if its part of one of those. Each of them are missing the back end (said) pieces.

Nice finds!
 
I agree with Aarong81 on the first item. Also since you found other pocket knives and parts around the area. Nice finds and I bet that iron rang your ears off when you found that chunk! HH, Nancy
 
I bet I would have passed over that iron unless I was in a hot spot. I admit I leave a few secrets to the ground, pretty much only the huge targets though. I dig all the nickel signals I can find but rarely find a nickel. I have dug alot of civil war & WW1 buttons that looked similar to nickels, but normally they show higher around 30-45 VDI on my MXT PRO as opposed to 18-24 for nickels. Depth causes some inaccuracy so its best to dig first, regret later and sometimes pat yourself on the back for going through the trouble to dig it. Some of the GREAT items are iffy signals! Case in point, my 1828 large cent was not too convincing even though it showed as a quarter, I was sure it was NOT. Due to depth vs signal strength vs how sure the detector was on its ID, it was only 4 inches so a quarter would be an EASY target to ID.

Dig em all!
 
Interesting....to say the least. I wish i could tell you what those are...but i have no clue.
