These iron relics were dug in a field that produces mostly 1850's silver and pre-civil war military buttons. Can anyone offer a guess as to what they are?

Your piece with the two holes is a bed rail bracket simular to this modern one.
Your other one might be a hammer in "eye" for attaching (wire or rope) to a wall or post.

I was thinking the same about the spike looking one. Bed rail bracket is plausible as well and if it is, it's an old one.
