Bloody Creek, Nova Scotia - Need Help ID'g These Metal Objects

This is my first post and my first finds while detecting at Bloody Creek in Nova Scotia where a battle was fought between the British and the Acadians and Indians in 1757. The largest item was found about 5” deep underneath a large tree root. Judging from the jagged edges, it would appear that it was broken under a lot of force. The second and third objects were found together about 6” deep in the creek bed. These were found about 20 metres from the first find. The second item appears to have been chiseled out and there is part of a hole on one edge. The smallest item is a flimsy metal like tin, and there is an indentation on it made by a pointed object. For all I know, it’s all junk, but I’m really curious. Thanks to all those who try to help identify what they could have been. ;D I have included 3 pictures, and then added 3 more in the next post. :-\

Although the mining centre you are referring is in Annapolis County, it is at least 60km away from Bloody Creek, which is close to Bridgetown. May be close, but still no cigar. ;D

Re: Bloody Creek, Nova Scotia - Need Help ID'g These Metal Objects

My brother in law was visiting today and I showed him my finds. His first reaction was to identify both iron pieces as parts of an old wood stove. The large item he thought was a leg for the base of th stove, with the foot part broken off. The smaller item looked like part of the stovetop in which a round lid would fit after putting wood in the firebox. This kind of makes sense to me but I'm hoping someone can confirm this given the new info. always appreciate everyone's help.

Well, what ever they are, they are certainly broken scrap! Nice job getting the ruler in there. The scale came out very nicely.
