Buckles, Button, And the unknown

[Old Finger]

went for a little hunt today behind my house. Found a flat button some horseshoes a few buckles (not sure how old), A finger helmet?, and some unknown pieces. I think the round piece might of been some sort of decretive piece for furniture maybe? no clue about the others.
any ideas?

Its actually a shaft tip protector for a horse buggy/cart. They would lay on the ground when not attach to horse thus why they’re worn on one side

''piece for furniture maybe''
Yes, & the piece below is a drop pull for a chest of drawers. Pretty much went where the square hole is on the previous piece.
