Here are a few items I recovered around the remains of a structure that was built in 1804.
The small oval object looks like a pocket picture frame.
The buckle seems too delicate to have handled leather. Perhaps ribbon??
The 3rd brass item has threads and reminds me of the mirror that a dentist sticks in you mouth.

The threaded piece is one-half of a pair of fireplace tongs, used to pick out live coals for other uses.

Thank you Bruce. Any idea on the age?
The Brass Oval Piece has been identified as a
Digeurotype Tin Picture Frame. Circa 1800's.

Your oval brass piece is a grommet here is a pic of a nickel plated one.images.jpgProbably from a ladies purse.large-ladies-pink-purse-with-zipped-pocket-and-twist-lock-fastening_2964040.jpgOr it could have been on a leather satchel.
