The round piece really drove the pinpointer crazy, no response to magnet, heavy for size (14g). Thought maybe a button but it's pretty heavy and that crossbar doesn't look too strong. Didn't do anything on the spit test but it's the first time I've tried it. I swear in the photo of the 'front' of it there's a 4 to the right of the hole. Oh, it doesn't bend like lead should. Found at my work, which was a factory from 1946 on, but probably residential before that. My wife says 14g is half an ounce so possibly a weight, didn't see any trade weights shaped like this.
The other piece was found in a park which has been there at least least since the 1920s. Thought it might be part of a tin toy or something but there are no tabs where it would attach to another piece.
