Got a little time off work, went to a old site. Any ideas on what these are? Maybe a shoe buckle? The bell says HELLO on the outside and INDIA on the inside. The rings i think are copper? What time period are these items from? Need help please. Thank you

Don't either of the rings have any markings in them? The big one looks like it does in the picture.
 
Interesting finds. The rings were probably silver-plated at one time. Seldom see copper rings per se. Yeah, what is marked inside the band of the larger ring? The bell from India is probably a tourist trinket from an American store (trinkets made in India were fairly common in American stores--particularly from the 1950s & 1960s I think). Probably low-quality brass, but fun to find nonetheless.
 
i looked hard at the inside of ring but i dont see any markings, i think what your seeing is patina. Thanks for everybodies feedback.
 
I would guess the buckle to be the oldest? Nice finds! Tsgman
