Looking to identify the rectangle piece

Found on old fire road along with items shown.
Penny is 1952 wheaty but I recently dug up 1894 Indian head near by.
The two dark circles are metallic and stick to magnet.
The two strips look like brass.
Any ideas?

Difficult to ID with certainty from viewing just one photo... but it looks like a "double reed" from a musical "wind instrument" (meaning, one you blow into to create musical sounds). If my guess is correct, somebody else here will be able to tell you the specific version of musical wind-instrument it is from. (I'm not an expert on musical instruments.) That being said, here is a photo of a piece of musical instrument with "reeds" that I've dug a specimen of. It is called an "Aeoline" and it dates from approximately the 1820s-30s. But of course, musical-instrument reeds are still being manufactured today... most commonly in harmonicas.

The round pointy thing in the middle looks like the crank wheel to a manual can opener.

I was thinking the same thing. That, or some type of leather/craft tool.
