Finally got into an area where there is an old ghost town. This was an old turpentine town from what I hear. The sun was BAKING! I went through 2 liters of water in 2 hours.

Found this neat locket that is about the size to hold a quarter inside. It slides based on a hinge on the top. The two side swing parallel to each other, a little different than you usually see for a locket.

Then I found two of these little marker numbers. They must have been used to mark something, a tree maybe? I'm going to post these What is it.

Hey TEXAN, you are the man! I knew these things were wire ties like was said, but not for electricity. This was one of many ghost towns created by the removal of the Florida East Coast Railroad.

The locket with crescent moon and 5 point star may be Masonic.
