Two mystery items from today

[GeoAngelo]

Anyone know what these could be?

First is a very large brass thing. Had a screaming signal under a large root and thought I had something good. I guess not but... what is this? Its 100% shiny brass where the shovel hit it. Pinpointer added for scale.

Next is this copper thing. Its about 2 inches tall, rounded on top, open at bottom with these two bowtie shaped cutouts and decorative flourishes. The copper has zero patina so I don't think its very old at all. It looks like something to me but I can't figure out what.

The brass thing looks threaded on the bottom? could be a fence post topper or flag pole finial.

Not threaded, no. There is a hole at top and another at bottom. Both about 1/2" diameter.

The brass piece looks like a fireplace andiron top. And the copper piece looks like a napkin ring.

Brass piece maybe a decorative finial to a wood stove.

The open piece with the "atomic" images appears to be the end cap of a hilt from a fantasy knife or sword.
