Metal detecting relics 2.jpg 20170423_135732.jpg 20170423_135732.jpg The two items on the right are a spoon handle and a knob. I'm not sure what the other items are. Have you seen these before? The relics were found near a plantation in the Charleston, SC area. The site appears to be from the early 1800's. Thank you for your help.

The curvy item in the middle looks like part of a brownbess side plate.

We went old school....kicked off the gasline & woodburner stood in; Hard work, helps keep you in shape[or lets you know dang quick, if you're in no shape]! But they are actually pretty common-even old ones, esp. now! So really not an educated guess..lol. Glad to help!
