I have not posted anything in a while. I just cannot seem to find the time to get out. To add to the situation, I just adopted a dog. I did not want to leave it alone for long, so I ran around the corner to a wooded area that had a gristmill going back to the late 1600's. The spot has been hammered so I was not optomistic. During the final minutes I left the paths and headed for the underbrush where I found these. I did manage to find the 1926 Wheatie and the unusual game token.

I also found what appears to be a cup hook, or something. It is definitely not modern.

I know it aint much, but finding the 1926 left me feeling like it is worth going back for some older coins.

any help IDing these other items is appreciated.

Thanks for looking!

Cool token, but I have no idea what it is.
 

Stock arcade token, c. 1970's or later. Used in video arcade game machines.
 

Nice finds. I'm not sure on your whatsit, but it may be a lever cocking devise for a rifle. It would be a little fancy, but it would work. Just a thought. Keep your nose to the ground.
 

My guess on the whatz it is part of a candle holder. The part where the thumb and forefinger goes. I remember seeing something like that posted a while back. I think it was Seeker who found one in New York State.
