Figured I'd post all three here rather than make three separate posts...
First - Iron Relic (I hope)
I found this in a sandstone quarry near a 19th century homestead. It is clearly broken on both sides, so it is part of something larger. Lots of modern trash at this site, but I did also find a railroad spike that I am going to say is from the 19th century until someone proves otherwise
Second - Silver Cap
Found on top of the soil in a modern group campsite. I am not certain that it is made of silver, just that it is silver in color. My brother thought that the 925 mark is a reference to 92.5% silver, IE sterling silver. My buddy thought maybe it was a cap to a cigar case or something. I initially thought it was aluminum, but after looking at it more, I think it may be silver (it registers as silver on my Titan 1000XD for what that's worth).
Third - Buckle thing
Found near the beach at a modern reservoir. Non-ferrous, has a heart on it. Advice on how to clean it further would be nice too. The bizarre thing is that I remember finding something almost identical to this as a kid, but I don't remember if I held on to it or not, or where I found it.
