the round shiny thing is a quarter. 
The other thing is some kind of retainer strap/keeper thing like for a fire extinguisher or tool kit - or something. I've never seen one of those in a K trunk - I think it's just something that was left in there or someone tossed it in while you weren't looking...

Looks like one of the retainer clips off the air box. There are three of them.
How it got in the storage area though is a mystery.

Yeah, definitely is. Can't hurt to have a spare?

Or is one missing off the air box. I have had them pop off when changing the air filter and they a PITA to get back on.

The above posters are all wrong.
It's clearly an airbox retaining clip.

UH UH! I was right about the quarter. It does look like an airbox cover hold down.

In England, it's a doofer, wotsit or a thingy.
