A couple of what is it's and a what the heck

The 2 first pictures are of some sort of brass striker mechanism. If you look at the end opposite the round end, there are witness marks where this was hitting or striking something else. Found along side a river.

The next 2 seem to be part of a brooch or medal. Appear to be film reels on the convex surface. Again found by a river.

Last but not least (I had to throw this in) is a gopher or ground hog in a tree. Is this normal?? Must have been 10 feet up this little tree just swaying in the breeze.

Ground Hog. I haven't ever seen one up a tree but maybe something chased him up there. I don't have any idea about the other stuff. I like that brooch/button thingamajigger.

Groundhogs do climb small trees, although it is not a very common thing for them to do. I have a photo my dad took years ago of one up a small bush.

I would have said that was a porcupine. And they are often in trees.

Or a chopstick rest.

I think we had a similar item in a post here a bit ago.

The first piece is a tough one. Looks like the bottom shaft set down into a hole.

The shank is missing. It's a shoe button cover. I'll look for a link here from Tnet.

I think IS is correct. You can see solder remains (3) on the back from the missing fastening bar..

Half a green check?

We still have one item unidentified, (to explain the 1/2 check comment).

I got you

Could the first item be something from a lightning rod?

Re: A couple of what is it's and a what the heck

I will give Ironspike 1/2 a check for the shoe button cover...Nice ID!

The first item will be a tough...I have seen something like it, just can't place it...

The varmit in the tree is not check worthy but I must say I was thinking beaver when I first saw it. Just missing the right tail. I think it is a ground hog. It is a big boy, I would estimate 10-12 lbs.

Could the 1st item be a trammel point

Re: A couple of what is it's and a what the heck

The first item reminds me of a stair carpet rod holder

 

[Bramblefind]

Re: A couple of what is it's and a what the heck

Maybe a fishing rod holder?

Looks like a porcupine to me also Bramblefind...noted tree climbers.
