Lots of items found on latest visit to the same field. Horseshoe count now upto 5 with today’s find. I’m most interested in the finds with separate specific photos.
Any views on how old the button might be and any views on what the other item with circular ring at one end could be

You ever hear from anyone on what these things are? 1st pic is a dang nice flat button likely 1700’s. Possibly a tombac. 3rd pic, is tough, maybe a door hinge or lock of some sort. Looks too thin to be any kind of wrench like for a wagon or tractor. Last pic is cool old stuff from a dang nice spot to hunt. The chain may be some that clips on your neck to hold a cape on civil war period. Idk. There’s coins there I’d bet.
 
Thanks for your reply. No other comments but since then have also found the attached from the same field which I believe is a scythe probably dating from 1800s
