    can anyone tell me what i have found?? need some experts here??? old farm field finds

    I found some old iron objects in an old farm field and were wondering what they were especially the steel one that kind of looks like a utensil of some kind but then it has a hole in it if anyone could help me identify these objects it would be much appreciated i think the first one is a cotter pin from a piece of farm equipment and then the next is a latch of some kind maybe but i have no idea what the last one is.Name:  20160620_095853.jpg

    Yep! All are objects associated with farm equipment. The cable bracket was probably used to keep hydraulic lines in place.

    I agree with suggestions up above , the last item could be a a cable or hydraulic hose bracket , it could even be the top clamping bracket to a vintage bicycle or motorcycle kickstand .
