Headed out to an old camp site in sure has been hunted a ton. Couple Interesting finds though. Any ideas as to what the two little cuff link looking things are?

Congrats on the finds. Cuff link items might be fabric rivets.

Congrats on braving the cold weather and finding treasures. Brass rivets could have been used for many things. Probably off of leather horse tack.

Rivet they make beautiful signals Although I’m sure you know that already lol. They burn me every time. What you did is good for a cold morning. It’s funny how where I’m from Louisiana winters are what we look forward to so we can metal detect comfortably and all the weeds, veins have been thinned out. But of course summers are brutal and especially Here in the armpit of America L as soon as I leave my front door and walk to my truck I’m already getting a little sweaty. That’s what we have to do to live in paradise ( Alabama Mississippi Louisiana and Texas ) Congratulations keep on sharing.[emoji631]

Yes, they are rivets like the others have said. You do have a couple of nice relics in that picture also. The item on the bottom that looks like a screwdriver handle is a valve cover stem cap from a Model A or Model T Ford. They were used from around 1908 to 1930. The item on the far right is a nice harness buckle.

Thanks for the IDs, I nearly tossed the valve stem cap in with the random other hunks of trash until I saw some threads. Glad I kept it even though it’s crushed first I have ever seen. I think the area is well older than we were thinking it may be, it use to be private property until it was sold to the YMCA in the 60s and then later to the county in the early 2000s from what I have heard. Looking forward to getting back out there
