Junk or treasure you be the judge

We’ve been getting rained on but I did manage to get an early hunt. This is from a 1700s and 1800s fort from New Orleans. I found a stirrup

A piece of silver ( tested )and a Brass mechanism

Two pieces of iron they were in the same hole

What looks to be part of a pipe and a toy bowl


A brass latch

I do appreciate you looking and I’d love to hear some comments on what those iron pieces might be.

gear from a clock , some type of key ? maybe a steam boiler bleeder key. looks like a butt plate but no way to tell the size in your pic. looks like good stuff to me . If large brass is still there it hasn't been hit too hard . no telling whats in the ground .keep digging.

Mortar and pestle maybe?

I like the found relics, congrats!

I think all the iron is 20th century, perhaps off a tractor.

wheat finder taught me something today , here's more on the subject.


Knob-and-tube wiring (sometimes abbreviated K&T) is an early standardized method of electrical wiring in buildings, in common use in North America from about 1880 to the 1930s.[SUP][1][/SUP][SUP][2][/SUP] It consisted of single-insulated copper conductors run within wall or ceiling cavities, passing through joist and stud drill-holes via protective porcelain insulating tubes

What size are the iron pieces. The one on the right doesn't look like iron to me. Please post a side view of it.

To me it’s the shape of a pointy shoe , small but pointy.
