3rd. Item may be a Gasket of some type. Not shure. I have one in my finds collection also. <> Fourth item, just a WILD, FAR OUT GUESS from looking at it. looks to me like it may have had a wire connected to the end toward the right & that the end towards the left may have slid onto something to make an electrical connection. sort of like the slide on pieces that connect wires to speakers the tongue may have been a release lever, used when disconnecting it

4th item just a guess-part of an old telegraph machine?The kind that sent Morse code....---..-.. nice finds!

The last item appears to be a rubber boot latch. Had them when we were kids. You place a loop over the latch and then fold it back. Worked well until they got covered with snow and then they were very difficult to remove.

The third piece is definitely the guts of a clock, the fourth piece is bent, and I have found many of them before. It is an organ reed.

Buckram is right about the 3rd item...bottom or top plate of a small clock or watch.

the round items in the 1st pic next to the buckel looks like the cap end of shotgun shells with a couple of the primers missing.
