The 'rusty gold' you show in your first post are pretty standard 'farm finds', plow and horse tack related.
Your second post shows a box of 'miscellaneous finds', these are also all homestead related... a harmonica reed and brass or bronze horse tack buckles.

Congratulations on saving some of California's early settlement history!
