Here is what I found after work today......got an hour in. Alot of junk.....interesting piece of a bullet.....what looks like a piece to an old tool and a piece of melt.

Anyone know exactly what these are?
 
The first thing that popped in my mind when I saw the tool is maybe it's a glass cutter?
 
Not just a bullet, that's a 3 ringer!
 
That looks more like a lead wire clamp than a 3 ringer. Ive found several of them, even flattened they dont look like that. The hole is smaller and it has no distortion.
 
I'm not sure of either of these two items but I'll put in my two cents worth. I have found lead pieces like that before, usually in sites from 1890s-1920s. I don't think they are bullets though - possibly a counterweight for a piece of machinery? The iron piece does look like a glass cutter but it seems too short and it doesn't have the round bulb at the end that you use to tap the glass to break it along the cut. The handle is also different -it's flat, like it was used to turn something. Maybe it was some sort of wrench and is missing a portion. These are all just guesses-it's part of what makes this hobby fun. HH
 
It had a little round scoring blade on the front end, and the groves on the handle part, was for levering the glass for a clean break
