Not worthy of "today's finds"...

[EagleEye1]

These were found over the weekend in a 1890's-1920ish homestead area that is now a park.

Not sure on what anything is other than the partial plate pieces and the 2 shotgun ends. One is easily read as you can see, the other's best I can come up with is just missing hard to make out words.
R A 00 2 "RIZZ" or something around the rim. It was a trash heap near an old homestead area, and people lived throughout the area and probably did some shooting well into the 60's I am sure.

The hinge looking item interests me.

Finds today are todays finds.
No qualification of their having to be earth shaking...
Congrats on the outing!
The hasp is a common pattern. Stanley might have sold a lot ,but others offer(ed) similar. Often zinc plated.

The hinge thing is a common padlock hasp. Does not look that old. the Western shotgun brass was made 1932- 1964. Keep digging, there may be some goodies there.
