I found these two iron items at a site where ive dug up several late 1700 to early 1800 items.

These two items are similar because they are flat on one side. Their ends are also similar. One resembles a finger.

Any ideas?

Sorry about that.

Found in south east United States along with other items that lead me to think it was early english settlers.

Ill add a picture of a spoon made by John Yates which was found at the site.

Also a photo with all of my finds from the site so far.

I'm not sure they are tools. The one on the left looks more like a kettle leg ..or a leg of some sort. The other is a genuine "whatzit partifact"

Though I didn't see the maker's mark in the silver-plate ID, doesn't mean I missed it.
