Not sure what all this is found it all in one area on my grandparents 20acre orchard in central California I believe there was a old house on the property at one time the area I dug all this in had a layer of big rocks that are not common to the area really theres no rocks here and there was a bunch of bricks and other materials like that then under that layer found the metal stuff if anyone know what this stuff is please feel free to tell me I'd appreciate it

The round thing lower left is a Clutch Plate, the cylinder shaped things are old window counter weights
 

Those long heavy things, with the loops on the end are window weights. Cool find
 

Okay thanks everyone I'm still digging the area I'll post any new finds still getting used to this site I've gained a love for metal detecting I must say
 

Some more pics closer up

keep digging the junk, sooner or later, if there is good stuff you will to get to it
 

You can sell the window weights on eBay, if you clean them up a little bit. Depending on their size, you can usually get from $1.00 to $5.00 each for them. Sell them in one lot and ship them via USPS medium flat rate box for $12.35. Might be worth the effort to try that.
