Great bunch of recoveries. 👍
I think those three items on the right side are called wiffle trees.

No, I believe they're parts from horse hames.

Whiffletrees (or Whippletrees) distribute forces caused by draft animals.

Oooh, those look like brass cane heads, if it were me I'd probably polish them up and mount them on the end of a nice hardwood cudgel, I like the old artifacts that I can restore and reuse.
 

No problem; I do the same.
They say memory is the first thing to go.
Second is... I forget. 🤔
I’m right there with you. My memory has really gone downhill over the last year.
 

All in All still great finds :) Thanks for sharing with us :)
 

Great items. You definitely found a spot where horses were used.
Maybe there will be more nearby

Yep, I've dug some before at a Colonial house that I detected for about 7-8 years. Found some great CW relics there too. Man, I miss that place.
