Went out this weekend for a little while and came up with these two thingy's and was just curious if anyone has ever seen these before or has any idea what they might be.

One is certainly a U.S. minted quarter. Another is possibly a Lufkin tape measure. A third is a part of a cabinet latch assembly and the last is definitely an unknown, as you stated.

Part of a self-latching gate latch. Monty

I have seen the first pic somewhere before but cannot place it. :icon_scratch:
Is it really a brass gate latch? It looks brass. There are over 8000 images of "gate latch" on google but I cant find it.
