any help with these lads the first picture and second picture were about 20ft apart on a mountain near where i live
the first picture is an ornament which was all smashed up in diff part's, no sign of the head there which may have worked out what it was.
the secomnd picture is some sort of handle?
the thirsd picture was on another mountain, at first i thought id found an iron age ring and then a few more ended up coming,i walkes from there with 5 in the end and also iron pottery.? any idea's, they look like copper fittings?

Can you get a less blurry picture of the rings? preferrably against a white background and shot through diagonally, then end on, to give an idea of the cross section of the ring bodies.

The sculpture looks interesting, could be any age though unless you can put it together in a recognisable order so we can see the subject.

The handle thingy looks like it may be a knife handle, but again you need to include something to give a good scale comparison, like a modern coin or ruler?

Put the pictures in the beat the doc thread for identification, might get more replies that way.

What area are you from, lots of mountains where you are so sounds like mid or north wales.

The pieces of china/plaster I would say are from a doll/toy. What is the handle thing made of? and what sort of size are we talking about?
I'm afraid the rings do look like olives from plumbing
