3 Fort what is it's

The item on the left may be a suspender adjustment?
The other two were dug within ten feet of each other and are seemingly identical. Thanks for any help. HH

The item on the left is the keeper to a sword-style belt plate, and the item on the right is a chain toggle, probably off of a trace chain, although there were many applications.

yep,the left item is the catch piece found on the other side of belt for a sword belt buckle --the slot is where the "tounge" of the buckle fits thru -- the smaller hole is where it attached to the belt

the other items look like iron knife parts off a knife at first glance - or the ends of a chain trace toggle as said above.

Creskol is correct. The iron items are the business end(s) of a trace chain.
