old part of a medal maybe? dont know also some other goodies i want to identify

[R&C jensen]

Could somebody help me identify these items? if you see there is a target in the middle of it and it looks like it has silver lettering on it.
It is about the size of a jefferson nickel. Also i have another item i want to identify. it is about a half inch wide and about an inch long.
Thanks

I think the piece in the first 2 pics might be the end on a ladies hair pin. The target one looks really familiar, but I'm not sure.

In 1896, the United States won 7 silver medals in the summer Olympics. Perhaps this was part of a memento souvenir made 'after' the victories. One of the events was shooting, which might explain the target. Your first item is part of a vintage hair comb or barrette as Ken said. Neat finds Breezie

First item could be anything from a tie pin, clothes hook, hair or hat pin, ect, being incomplete as it is.

After downloading and lightning the pic of your first item, I can see it is a Victorian marcasite Stick Pin with the pin broken off. Jewelry made with marcasites was extremely popular during the Victorian times. Marcasite jewelry is made from pyrite (fool's gold), not marcasite because pyrite is similar to marcasite, but more stable and less brittle. Really nice find Breezie
