Here are 3 from the pile I have been curious about. The long tapered piece has a bend on the end. The middle one seems like from a rifle, it is extremely flat on the backside. The bottom piece could be anything. Maybe an old car pedal. Found in a Colorado mining town. Thanks for any input, Happy hunting!

I've seen a lot of long spikes with a ring end like that but I can't think of what they were used for, the middle one's not part of a gun, some kind of bracket I'd guess but I don't know what for. Bottom one, no clue

I'm thinking the middle part isn't from a gun, at least in my eyes.

The bottom one sure does look like a golf club head, but being I'm not a golfer, I'll let smarter people make that call. The top one looks familiar but I'm drawing a blank right now.

Could the top one be a Gunners Pick? Trying to find the size of them right now.............Found one, goes by various names gunner pick, gimlet, priming wire, etc. Either that or a shish kabob skewer.

From top to bottom... IMO

Skewer / Shish Kabob
Tractor part.
Blade.

EDITED - Sorry... changed my mind... :P... :)

I agree with the shish-kabob skewer. I think the other two are: half of a tailgate link assembly, and a broken harvesting knife. If you'd found it in the Atlantic Coastal Plains, I'd call it a tobacco knife.
