Nails + ??

Howdy all -
Dug these yesterday in VA in an area near a CW battlefield. Any ideas on dating the nails and what the other object might be?
Thanks!

The nails look like horseshoe nails, and your other items could be furniture hardware plate. Neat finds, Breezie

Agreed, its an old gate hinge terminal.

Thanks, Taz, Breezie, and Crusader. Those hinges look like a solid match to me!
