Any ideas what some of these things are?

The rooster head seemed to have broken off of something, but the head is quite heavy and only about the size of a quarter.

The metal bottle top has holes like a baby powder bottle and it does turn. Only the upper half of the metal container made it though. It looks to be about the size of a small flask. You can also see part of a metal belt buckle next to it.

The metal ring is very heavy. Sorry I dont have something to show the size of it, but I would say that if it was round, an Eisenhower dollar coin would probably fit in the middle of it. I assume it is a link from a chain.

This metal pipe\tube is also very heavy. It is about 5-6" long. No clue what it would be from.

Items not pictured: brush\mirror handle, old milk bottle seal\top, broken knife (silverware type), metal lid from some type of container, long nail, 1951 Wheat penny, Alabama Sales Tax token (1).

I would say the rooster's head came off a wrought iron weather vane, and I also think the second photo is from a baby or body powder can, third photo shows a piece of iron pipe, plumbing or gas related, not sure on the last one.
