Very nice finds. Those Liberty nickels are my favorite nickels. Congratulations
Hey! Yeah, I posted that lock yesterday was trying to get an ID. These were my best finds over past two days (including that lock). Yeah, the hammer is to an old cap gun. The badge says "Prospect Point" Niagra which I believe is the overlook at Niagra Falls on US side. Had a silver looking finish to it but I don't see any markings. The site itself is an old road that once had 3-4 homes going back to lates 1800s/early 1900s. It is all forest now. I believe bottom right is a clock key.

But when you get a good signals it usually ends up being something old/interesting.I recognize that padlock, I think, from your earlier thread? Neat for sure!
Anyway, that badge is cool, what period of time you thinking, eh? Is it a souvenir....?
