Is this a guessing game? ;-)
Item one a katar with Mail piercing tip
Item 2 I don't know a handle on a wooden object as there seems to be a pin going across the inside and some wooden remnants
regards and welcome to the forum

Yup, looks like an armour piercing tip of an edge-on Katar, please show the whole thing. Could do 2with getting the active rust off.

The other thing looks like it might be the butt shoe of a wooden spear haft, or maybe an axe haft.

Obviously these are highly rusted, but the left one is a type of spear, and the bottom is a type of khanjar hilt, which may have had some kind of koftgari decoration on it.
