Curious metal junk

[Salura]

Did a few sweeps with my White's Classic I in my yard for practice and came up with these items. I live in the country where it was likely an old farm.

Good practice for me and in happy to clear the junk out of my yard when I find it. Anyone know what these items are from?

First pic looks like slag (melted metal), the others, no idea on those....

Yeah, welding slag is possible on that roundish piece. No clue what the other stuff came from, but I'm willing to bet it's old farm equipment.

second piece appears to be the body portion of an automobile door latch...

Yay, part if a car. I hope the rest isn't buried here. I found a tire rim on a different part of the yard. I'm hoping this wasn't an illegal junk yard at some time. Regardless, I will dig it all out and return the land to its natural state as much ad I reasonably can.
