    The bottom one definately looks to be from a seatbelt.... click!
    I live in a state of rules where I am not permitted to live on my own country land because my home is not 130 MPH rated! I can only visit it from time to time and pay the fines.  I feel so safe with Big Government protecting me. In some states its illegal to collect rainwater.

    I highly suspect that the silver object is a coin

    That top item reminds me of a little ashtray grille. The sort that used to be in the arms of airline seats, which were fitted with seatbelts

    The small grille piece in an airliner seat ashtray was waaaay smaller than that piece. As a matter of fact, it was only about twice the size of the end of a cigarette, which would make it about the size of a dime.

    there must have been a lot of ashes on the floor with an ashtray so tiny as to be useless.

    AA,

    Now if the buckles were, in fact, positively identified as authentic DOD issued items, would you have thrown them out anyways, as they have no actual value other than scrap metal?

    You already stated it was junk and you wanted to throw it away...

    If you don't watch out you might just get thrown away with the junk...baby and bath water thing

    The purpose of the little "grille" looking piece was to crush and separate the coal of the cigarette so that the cig butt could be dropped into the ashtray. They didn't have to be any larger that about the size of a dime. They were attached to one wall of the ashtray; sticking over the inside of the tray section. You probably already knew this and are just jacking around. But, just in case you're NOT joking,......

    ah ok. thank you for explaining. I used to smoke on airliners but I didnt remember the ashtray.


    I have seen removable grills like that covering ashtrays in smaller prop planes. But its probably from a harness.
