These finds are from a couple of little hunts.

I am unsure of these IDs, please chime in if you recognize the items.

A brass fuel line fitting... maybe from an oil lamp. Ornate metal cap... I have no idea what this is. "MR" initial bracelet, I think that this is child's ID bracelet, very ornate and non ferrous. 1918 green wheatie. Broken ruby ring, and my first pocket watch... I named him Rusty!

Thanks for looking and good luck on your hunts!

Congrats on a nice selection of finds. Like the MR piece.
 
The piece that looks like half a coin is off a suspender clip. I GUESS. You know me I just make guesses and somebody else says I don't know anything.
 
Cool finds, is your bracelet possibly silver that went through a fire? Sub 8-)

Thanks Sub.

No markings of any sort (ie:925). You can see what looks like copper and a little green patina, where the black is chipped away. It might have been through a fire, but I think that it is made of copper. Another clue, it was "assembled", the letters have tabs on them that slide into the face of the bracelet, to facilitate different names... I assume.

You don't know anything!

JK, I'd say that is a good guess, What the hell do I know, I don't know anything!
 
Whoops, nice finds Tom!
 
Some nice finds there, I am yet to find a pocketwatch, I usually get much smaller parts, gears, etc
 
Thanks treblehunter. Said by Tom and now confirmed by you. ( I don't know nothing)

Do you know my ex-wife, Todd?[emoji1][emoji1]

Pretty cool stuff Tom. I went out in a couple fields the last 2 days and found some cartridge brass and a shotgun headstamp on Wed, and a deep, purple old headstamp only on Thurs. Your finds look like treasure to me!
 
Old Dude. Mayyybbee?
