✅ SOLVED Odd bronze stuff

[scaupus]

Does anyone recognize this thing? it's not brass or steel, it is bronze. I was thinking a non-sparking tool, like an adze, but the edge is not sharp. It has numbers 1-84819.

Then there were a lot of these hooks in the yard of a 1912 house. They read on the metal detector like pennies, either bronze or brass, but the color of fresh metal looks like bronze. Maybe hooks for a buggy canopy, or early car canopy?

Not sure about the big piece, almost looks like a edger blade.....But Im all too familiar with those little copper SOB'son the bottm, it seems like anytime i find a really old place to hunt, the yard is loaded with them, and they read right under a copper penny, so i have to dig in hopes of an IH....I think they were roofing nails or something...I just know they are a pain in the ARSE when you start finding them

The first item looks like a caster shim for a straight axle. The second items are hangers for slate siding or roofing. Tony

Also used with asbestos tiles, back then:

(this shows why they are always bent when found)

Good call Tony on the alignment shim too, that seems highly probable.
