Don’t get me wrong I love your finds, but hunting during a hurricane seems a little hardcore.

I've got a small collection of them myself and they're still fun to turn up! Not sure why...

A couple of the triangular shapes a lead weights I think. You have some pottery from colonial. The top piece looks like maybe a shackle pin? BTW, the red is just rust

So does a buddy if mine. He spends a fair amount of cash on old broad axes that are no less than 12" in blade length.
