I found all of these at my 2 permissions near City Point, The T2 sniffed out the little silver button at about 10" deep under a bush. I Love finding the old tokens too. One is a Charms Candy presidential token from the 1930s. The other is a Norfolk County ferry token. I researched the watch and from what i could find i believe it was one of the first snow white watches ever made in 1947. I have no idea what the 2 brass pieces are though. The one appears to resemble corn or wheat and was once attached to something else because it is threaded at the bottom. The other kind of looks like a shell casing and it also looks like there is a duck or something stamped on the bottom. I am always amazed at the things the members of this site can identify. I will also post those 2 items on what is it.

I think the elongated items is the finial to a lamp. Try a propane torch and annealing and straightening the item with the bird on it.
 

That octagon is half of a silver cuff link, and a sweet find IMO.

Well done sir!
 

I also thought it may have gone to a lamp. I will see if i can straighten the one with the bird. thanks.
 

Ohh, so it's a cuff link not a button. Thanks a lot.
 

Nice finds. Love the token. Congrats!
 

Me too. I almost like finding the tokens as much as i like finding coins. "Almost"
 

At first I thought it was the 1947 version because of the shape. Thanks.
