Well, it looks like a piece of rusted levorite to me. It would go in my trash bin. Maybe someone can help but I don't think so.

Part of an iron latch from a buried treasure chest?

Yes, we find loads of them on farmland, thought they were iron ploughshares.

Looks like a box of mints to me.

It's good to notice and question the iron junk that we dig. The occupation and time line can sometimes be determined by identifying the junk. Thanks for asking for help on the plow tips.
