I dug all of this stuff from a 1900 house yard. It hasn't produced a lot of old coins (although it DID give me a 1859 IHP!), but it has had some really very interesting items.
The main reason for my post is the two 'heart-shaped' pieces, with the holes in them. I thought maybe they were some sort of keys, but now IDK.
As I looked at the rest of the stuff, I thought I would ask if anyone recognized anything else, too. Some objects are obvious (clockwise from top left- lead flashing, a lamp part, muffler part[?], condenser, a weird pull-tab, door striker plate, a little girl's necklace part, a grommet[old?], etc.), but if you know details about any of them, that'd be great, too. I took the photo to Paint and circled the items that I question the most, with the 'heart-shaped ones in yellow). If you recognize any of the other items, I'd love to hear it! The button is huge, and I'd love a clue as to its age and IS that a muffler part above it?
Thanks in advance for any help, you folks are awesome!

Could u reshoot the circled items at the bottom clearer?
The stuff in the top photo could easily be from as late as the 1980's.

I,ve seen those heart shaped pieces,I,ll try to dredge up the memory.The blue thingie is a common electrolytic capacitor,used in just about any electronic gizmo today.It has a plastic wrapper over a aluminum case with some funky looking stuff inside.Not dangerous. The letters uf stand for microfarad,2200 uf. Farad is a unit of capacitance.

The piece to the left of your "muffler" piece appears to part of an exploded piston from a small engine,maybe lawn mower? That would tend to give credence to the muffler piece actually being part of a muffler.My 2 cents any way.

The piece in the upper right looks an awful lot like the bottom of a Briggs & Stratton lawn mower engine.If you have one turn it over and you,ll see what I mean.

After more careful looking I,m not so sure about my piston guess,it appears to be hollow. Still think that,s the inner part of a muffler.Looks like somebody blew up or otherwise pulverized a small engine.
