The large iron buckle looks 18th C. I think it went on the cross strap, or whatever its called; the one that went over your shoulder.

Thanks I really appreciate it

Very nice strap buckle. I think Iron finds that survive are the coolest. Nice work

No help with age but congrats on your finds

Thanks buddy I have a question though I agree it looks like iron but when I dug it (at pro) I got a high tone not a iron grunt or low reading the reading was up 70s or higher I do t remember exactly do you know why if it is iron why I get a high tone is it because of its shape? Or maybe it's brass underneath?

sometimes weird shaped or large iron can ring up as a better signal. Axe heads come up around low copper on my machine sometimes.

The smaller piece looks like a suspender buckle. The other thing must be the top of a beer stein. The key is probably 20th century, but keys like that have been around since the 1800s. Nice finds

Iron circular shapes do sound much better than they should, plus the numbers can be anything from 00-99, depending on loads of factors, but mainly the size & shape.

I have gotten many strong sounds from iron nails and large iron pieces. When I worked on cleaning a heavy nail area, I found my first large cent quite by surprise! Nice old finds you have there.
