Found this right on the edge of an old stone foundation in Cumberland, RI. The site seemed hunted pretty well already, managed to dig up through a ton of iron nails.

There is some kind of design on the "coin" but I'm not able to make it out yet. The loop is solid, not like a modern key ring. The other two things look like some kind of keys possibly.

Thanks for looking!
 

The one on the top right looks an old watch winder key.

Oh, great idea! That hadn't even crossed my mind. It looks like there is a design on it as well, maybe I'll try to carefully clean it up so I can try to read/identify it.

Thanks!

edit:

Here are a couple pictures of the possible watch winder cleaned up a bit:

Tis a strange one...
Agree with some sort of "key".

An odd one for sure.

Sorry could not help.

Tony is right; it's a vintage Pocket Watch winder. They were manufactured in various shapes and sizes. Some were cheap, some expensive, and some were given away as advertising pieces.

Neat find :)
