Your bottom piece with the ring end is the handle of a scythe missing the wood.
the piece in the next picture is part of a suspender buckle.
And the new appearing coin looks like a 1853 with arrows Seated Liberty Quarter!!!

Thank you all, great Ids
The coin came from my last hole
Choppy signal and showing 2”
behind the well and pull a screw and aluminum disk out of the hole

Cleaning up then I spilotted this tiny disk in dug out dirt
Thought it was a modern Holy medal

It turned out to be 1853 half dime with nail punched hole

I don’t think the the detector found it as when I went back over it when it was out of the ground I barely got a beep
As it is so small and skinny
And it was the aluminum that made the beep

If he lets me back
I want to go over with my 6” coil

Nice finds! What is the date of the half dime? I see there are arrows on the sides of the 1853 half dime date. I believe that is the first year that the arrows were added to the design to indicate a reduction in silver content. Even back then they made things smaller for the same price (like they do now for our candy, coffee, sugar..etc all coming in smaller sizes [emoji6])

I believe the object in the lower right is a dipstick handle.

Yes it 1853
That’s right I think 6% less silver so people wouldn’t hoard them
Happy finding it

Pitty it doesn’t have O mint mark
