THE ONLY ITEM I CAN IDENTIFY IS THE MUSKET BALL. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ANY OF THIS IS? ONE FELLOW TREASURE HUNTER INFORMED ME THAT THE 2ND PIC MIGHT BE A TREE YOKE??
Picture on the right is hardware from a toilet seat, first on the left looks like a scale weight.

WVA & Paleopilot are correct. Pic#1 We need better pics of the hourglass shaped thing and measurements on the ball. Pic# 2 is from a single tree yoke. Pic #3 could be toilet seat hardware. Pic #4 is an apothecary weight which could be 18th century. If you can get good close-up pics of markings on the weight we may be able to date it. Pic#5 looks like a broken bit from farm machinery.
