Not sure what the 4th item over is...? Round oval thing. Any input is awesome!

Holy moly fantastic day you had, keep up the great work, congrats!!
 

Awesome, dude, awesome!
 

Your round oval thing is a tent grommet. They were woven into the sides to run ropes through to attach to the ground. That's a great sign you're in a good spot. Hopefully, there was a camp site there! If it were me, I'd hit that spot hard! Good luck!
 

Nice finds, I?m currently laughing at your name because I am covered in it from a dig last week. 😆

I agree with grommet
 

A great start - congrats on your first finds ! :occasion14:

But be careful ... I've heard that some people have become addicted to metal detecting !
 

If you are counting the round oval piece as the one next to the 3 bullet casings it could very well be a mans ring. Beside that looks like a wick winder knob to a kerosene lantern and then the last item in the top row is the tent grommet.
