Rev. War Era? Some kinda crazy wrench?

[rcbob166]

Kinda Lost On this One,
Went to an area suppose to be a Rev. War Battle. Mid State SC.
First dug the round nosed piece, looks to be be a plow blade of some sort. (Just a guess) It is about 7inch's long and 3inch's wide with a slot cut in the center.
Second dug the Wrench looking thing about 8 feet from the first piece, It is 5 3/4 long - 2 inch's wide and the opening is 1 inch across, Man! Don't have a Clue.
Third piece I believe to be another type of plow blade.Found it about 30 yards away for the others.

Tell me what you think..
Thank's,
Robert

Your wrench is called an "alligator" wrench. Generally used for "square" nuts...

The first one is a turn of the century, or later, blade for a cast iron wood block plane. Its called an "iron" or "cutter" and will have a maufacturers name on the top (arrow) if you can clean it up with a wire wheel. They still make them today. I can give a better ID with the markings.

the top pic looks to be too big for a plain blade. its also curved.
I'm thinking its an adjustable depth tooth for a harrow or planter like a tobacco setter.

I think I have to agree, I looked at what would be the cutting edge if it is a plain blade and the edge is square instead of being sharp or tapered.

The trees in this area were prob in the 50 to 100 years at best, plus I found a buried barb wire by a creek bed.
The Alligator wrench I am thinking is circa 1900.

The third item does appear to be a plow shears. The size may make it for a walking plow (horse or mule drawn) or a garden plow (pperson pushed)

That would make sense, my buddy found a couple of horse shoes in the same area.
Thanks.

It is the correct size for a large plane (7'' long- 3" wide; I have sold a ton of antique planes on eBay) but it should have a sharpened tapered end and would be hard to bend. Hard to tell under all that rust, but if its a square end, I agree, it is NOT a plane cutter.
