✅ SOLVED Interesting, unknown items

Does anyone know what these items found together are in the close vicinity of farm-related barb wire as well as CW items, including a mini-ball? Pretty sure they are brass. My best guess is farm-related. Thanks

Your second piece is a heel plate.
At least that's what it looks like...

I was thinking heal plate as well, but that hole throws me off of that idea . maybe part of a padlock? the other looks like a lock washer .
In my opinion both are ferrous , not brass.

Well, better than just finding nails and other random pieces of iron.

This old Treasurenet thread seems to suggest it is a heel plate, specifically the etex post with a photo of other such plates. See bottom left plate.

Another item found a ~10 feet away - jug top?

Perhaps this item could shed more light on the first two items or the spot, which seems to contain a lot of "trash".

Wagon axle skein.

The first thing looks like a simple metal washer. The last thing looks like a typical 19th century plumbing pipe under a sink with fused through rusting joiner connection.

none of those plates show the hole like yours shows. if it weren't for that hole I'd agree. I'm not saying it's a lock for sure but you haven't shown me a heal plate in my opinion.

Impressive you know what it is! Thanks
