A few finds today

[JVA5th]

Found parts of a old water pump spread around not sure if I have all them not in the greatest shape but I think it would be a fun project to restore it to at least a semi presentable state if I have enough pieces not sure do not know much about these old pumps. Found a old coke can yeah I know not very exciting but still intrigues me. At lastly some old watch in horrid shape but still find it neat.

Thank you lol not much of a find but one of the best for me I've not had much luck with relic hunting and metal detecting as stubborn as I am and the countless hours I will sit metal detecting I've never found anything of real value. But it doesn't deter me I love digging up history regardless of it's value.

Would anyone know the best way to go about restoring the water pump I know I'll never get it to full restore due to the rust and if being underground for who knows how long. Also regarding the can is there a way to pop it back out or should I just leave it as is. I ask because I have tried to restore things in the past and end up ruining them with my ignorance on the correct way to come at these things.
