I found these two mystery objects in a field today and I was wondering if I could get some ideas on what in the world they are. Thanks.

Please put a known object like a coin or something with your finds so we may know the size. Top piece looks like an axle cap depending on the size.

If the size is confirmed as being small (coin size for round item and an inch or so for the other) they are probably leather related items. The long brass (if it's brass) item is sometimes found along with another brass piece that slid into/underneath your 'bracket' item. like a strap/belt tip.
Also, the similar items that I've found here in PA came from sites that dated from the late 1700's to early 1800's. Some are ornate like the one you found, and others are just plain brass.

The round object appears to have "tabs" that would fold down to affix it to something like leather or a fabric item maybe? Is that writing or some type of graphic on the backside of the other item? Hope you can get an ID. Nice finds.

Both appear to be possibly from a saddle or something leather; left a strap guide and right, a decorative stud

Yep,bet the long item is a leather strap guide I found one that was oval last year and it was thick like that on both ends.

These look to me to be a drawer handle and a metal glide for the foot of a piece of furniture maybe the same piece of furniture.
