IS this a question or a statement? I don't see evidence of anything in the modern rust you posted.

If its modern rust tell me what Any of the stuff is ! Found at a fresh water artesian well possibly dating back to early as 1600s and other stuff came from the beach near ancient ship wreak site.

Check some archives and see if you found a World War 2 anti-tank mine.

What's better, a lump of gold or a puzzle to be solved? Rusty objects are a challenge.

The horseshoes are the only immediately recognizable items. The two older ones have a calk that might be a clue to age or use -- maybe the horses/mules were worked in beach sand and that's why the calks. The newer horseshoe looks machine made.

The nails/spikes can be dated to an extent by inspecting them closely to see how they were made and how the heads were shaped. Google for info on dating nails and spikes.

The big tripod thingie with the hex nut is relatively modern, prob since the 1880s. What was it? I'd get hold of a Sears Roebuck catalog circa 1902 (a lot of them are reprinted) and see if it is identifiable there -- some kind of mill or bearing is my guess.

What's that boot shaped rock?

The boot seems like a mold of sandstone or carved from sand stone i found it right by the artesian well.
