I always find a couple odd items but usually leave them as they are just junk iron and stuff. These 3 were interesting and had a shape to them (or writing).

First thing looks like a mini jackhammer

Second is just a cylindrical piece

Last but not least has some writing and is broken, and a date which looks like 1956 to the right and what looks like maybe 65 to the left.

Will try and clean them later with some vinegar, Especially the piece with the numbers.

Thanks for all your help and happy hunting!
 

Cylinder may be the tip from a chair or stool leg(?)

If your "jackhammer" has a slot on the end it may be a valve puller for a Schrader valve (tire stem).

Last item looks like the tag on a parka-sized zipper pull.

Some better close-ups in natural light might help, as well as knowing the type of metal and location. Your "jack hammer" piece looks a lot like a carb adjustment screw on an old updraft carb I used to have. The last item looks like a pull tab.

Your little jackhammer thing reminds me of a petcock of some type.

Your last item the one with #s I think is a copper tag from a telephone pole. Like an inspectors tag or something like that.

The pull tab looking thing has 165^Degrees to the left and 1955 to the right. Random google searches came up with something to do with a thermostat/regulating temperatures and hinges
