Farm items

[CivilWarSaver]

These are three of many items I have already found at my 3x great-grandfather’s farm property. I’m not that sure what they might be, but i think that the circle item is probably farm related.

I'm not sure but might I suggest some more detective work may be needed in that area. Thanks for sharing

The metal detector said that the third item was made of nickel

The third picture looks like a dollop or drop of lead....

Civilwarsaver... Per your request / msg in The Random Picture Thread...

The item you seem most interested in solving... the circle... requires your feedback on the "thickness" of the metal...

From the picture... and just a shot from the hip...

I would go with...

Coffee can top OR bottom... vintage to older... OR some other similar can... like this...

First one could be a wheel off a pastry cutter, second on an end off a harmonica reed, third one melted something.

Many times coffee cans and the likes were re-used as we all know for some other utilitarian uses...

Like... Hanging wind chimes... Covers for something... etc.. etc...

The type I pictured would sometimes have a knob added to the top and used as a knick knack can for holding items such as nuts and bolts or whatever...

MANY times coffee cans and jars were almost always a preferred item for not only "stuff" but also for stashing money.

So... perhaps a second search of the same area / hole you found that in would be a smart move.

People buried things in cans and jars commonly throughout time.

Whilst here...

I will also speculate that your second item is just a random piece of metal that could be from / off anything...
And IMO is just that.

Third item... dpending on weight... I would say IF light... Alum....IF heavy lead or solder.

Could be the disc like marker/guide from a seed planter. Attached to an arm that swings up and down on the planter. Just a guess. The 3rd. item is definitely as others stated a chunk of melted metal from being in hot fire for a period of time. I have one nice corner lot across the street from my church and belonging to the church where a house once stood and burned years ago where I have dug up dozens of those in various sizes and shapes. They come in as high tones and generally read dime/quarter range, very annoying and heavy too. Have found them in other sites too.

If it has a square hole in the middle, it could be a washer off a disc harrow.

I’m not sure what the 2nd picture is off of
