Looks like they are real window weights.

That's funny. Thanks. OK, let me try a few other items found in my backyard, which is some part of a Civil War camp.

Bottom right is a bottle cap, 2 over to the left of there is a square nail with the head gone, other pieces are fence wire, not sure about the rest. You'd have to clean them up some to tell.

Those bombs were used to destroy bottles in old trash pits.....made many heartbreakers in the process, but yes, window weights.

Old double hung windows had a rope attached that went through a pulled and was attached to a cast iron weight in the hall that made it easier to raise the window. They came in different sizes. My father was a builder and we removed lots of them when replacing windows. Keep swingin.

Top left is part of a hinge for a gate or window shutter. Top right looks like a staple. Might have been used to hold fence wire to a post or tree.
