[ticndig]

knock the dirt off the big piece so we can see it better.

 

[Fredneck]

Maybe the big iron is an animal trap ?

 

[Gulf Coast Pirate]

Trivet? Stove coil? Hard to say until cleaned up....

The long piece by the sharpie is a bearing cap for a shaft. A guess on the mass of iron would pulley works for a treadle sewing machine?

2nd item is a Babbitt bearing half and 4th find is an escutcheon plate from a trunk(treasure chest) or piece of furniture. Neat finds!

Hard to judge the size of the iron piece,

First thought... Part of a cattle watering trough.
