found this stuff at a old picnic area from the late 1800's

Looks like you have part of an oil lamp (where the wick comes up), a pocket knife, and the head of an axe or grubbing hoe. Breezie

Somebody used that head as a splitting wedge, and busted the poll off it. It started out as a shingling hatchet.

That D shape copper thing sure looks familiar...
