I found these the other day and wondered if anyone could tell what type of metal the setting is made of and the age range?I soaked them in dish soap and water but could use some ideas to clean them up a little more. Thank you.

It's really hard to pinpoint an age for this partial bracelet, but it has the look of the 1950's to me. Were all the pieces found in the same hole or at least close by? If so, you might be able to find the rest of it.

Yes--they were all fairly close together and I have gone back and looked 3 more times but can't locate any more pieces.

These could have been a partial pocket spill in that the bracelet broke somewhere else, and the person put the all the parts in there pocket, then lost just these pieces. You might want to MD the area again after a good rain.

If you will GOOGLE 1950s Charm Bracelets, you'll see there were a plethora of styles during that time. Charms bracelets were extremely popular.

I don't know how to tell you to clean it because I don't know the stone or the metal, but judging by the corrosion, I can safely say it is not a precious metal like silver or gold.
