Any of this stuff ring a bell?

Went medal detecting today in the same spot I've been digging in for the past 2 years. Found some items today that are not the usual items I find in this area. They were dug very close to one another. The area is an extinct Mississippi River town that was abandoned after the flood of '27. This town was around from the early 1800's.

I found my oldest coin ever today! 1884 Indian Head. I also found a copper face of a lady. Broach maybe? Other items are a large brass round thing, a lead weight and a fancy lead thing with a hole in the center. Does anyone know what these items are? I left the penny in the pics to give the items scale. Can't find my tape measure....

The top right object in the first pic looks similar to a dr. drop bell sinker for fishing.

The top left object looks like a lamp base.

Thanks y'all for the help! I think I might have figured out the round brass thing. A brass/lead clock pendulum?

The round decorative piece may be part of a door handle/lock mechanism.

I was thinking that too or maybe a doorbell cover?

Thanks for the responses y'all! I went back the next day and dug right next to where I found these. I found what goes to the doorbell looking thing. What is it now? It has 2 angels on it and the little angle is holding a torch. I found some 1860's-1870's era bullets next to it. Thanks yet again!

Maybe a decorative top to a newel post.

I cannot believe I found it! It's a oil lamp. The exact one!
