Nice digs. I would say off of an old shed door.

It looks very old, probably at least from the 1800's. Maybe the shed burned down leaving only the metal lock and hinges of the shed door. Or they removed the door and threw it in the back and the rest of the door rotted away leaving only metal. Perhaps they forgot the key and ripped it off the door. I love thinking of theories of why each find was lost and how :)
