The left 2 are rope tighteners for tents.

Rusty item looks like part of a log pike.

I agree with Crusader on the rope tighteners for tents.

I found them in an area next to a 1800's home stead, no place to pitch a tent?

Both items are correctly identified!

Why does that matter when getting an ID. You clearly haven't detected much if your trying to use pure logic when it comes to how an object got to where you found it.

PS. I find it strange when people ask for an ID (because I assume they don't know what it is), & when they get it, they argue it can't be the case. If you don't want the answer, don't ask the question.

I worked at a pulp mill and yes that is a log spike, just missing the handle.

Annnd, that explains why it is polite to answer replies helping you with a ....Thank You.

Pre homestead construction a shelter of sorts would have been nice.
Post construction shade and or protection from the elements when in an era where so much time needed to be spent outdoors ,let alone avoiding "cabin fever" would have made a tarp,canvas or awning a welcomed luxury. Along with guy tensioners. Canvas stretches when wet.(Even by heavy dew on days it don't rain). Then there is wind strain. A quick adjustment beats retying anyday.
Or it could have covered a wood pile ,or a buggy in lieu of a shed.

Or maybe an adventurous kid ,or hunter or traveling family called for a tent.
Canvas tents need to be aired dry before storage. Erecting it in the yard after returning home would suffice till it dried. The alternative would have been inside the homestead ,or garage ,or barn ect..Not as likely in an early era where enclosed spaces were hard won equity.
