a what is it, a what's it called, a what's it go to, and some LOOK AT THIS !!??

the first item is copper ?
the second item i believe is a plant fossil but i don't know what it's called
the third item is a skeleton Key to ? i don't think it's to a door
here are three nice points i found on the same hill as the copper item. are they arrowheads OR are they spearheads?
and i also found this rainbow looking? i thought it was shell but our river shells around here doesn't have much rainbow if any.

1- Correct-harmonica reed
2- segmented tube could be Crinoid column or fragment of cephalopod shell
3- skeleton key goes to a door lock by the looks and size of it.
4-this may help-http://tinyurl.com/29ykkss
5- I agree- oyster or perhaps abalone shell

Is that 2nd picture something metal? I have something identical to that in my junk metal pile.

I think most harmonica blades are made of brass. Instead of an oyster, the shell could be from a fresh water mollusc/mollusk. Nice finds, Breezie

I agree..the second photo is definitely a fragment of a crinoid stem
