Nice!!! Congrats!!!
 

Maybe a lipstick tube?
 

Nice finds. Congratulations
 

Pretty good mixture you dug. Congrats on a decent outing.:thumbsup:
 

This piece is interesting, it looks to have something written or decoration on the border? :icon_scratch:
You may want to consider carefully straightening out, it might be a buckle or something important.

Can I bend it without breaking? I see lots of design. What is best way to clean off?
 

Nice finds. I like that Great Seal military button.
 

Interesting sterling piece. Could be a part of a mechanical pencil or pen. Can you post some more views of the taco’s brass piece? If you try to straighten it out the patina / crust will crack off, but you might be able to flatten without breaking. Congrats

Here are more pictures of copper taco gold design and rings around
Cleaned little more with water and qtip
 

Looks like half of a pocket watch case.

Having seen your additional pics, I'm now thinking more along the lines of saddle decoration. :icon_scratch:
It looks pretty thick and it's gold gilt, so it maybe the back portion of a pocket watch?

If mine, I'd tumble it and see what details come through. :thumbsup:

Cool bunch of stuff and things!! I agree with Dave, tumble the taco and see what pops out for details. Great job!!
 

Nice finds! :icon_thumright: Any further luck cleaning up the 'taco'?
