Very cool! thats a good day! I think there are a few possibillites of why all that was there. Possibly close to the old school? Kids went there to hang out? A party spot, Or a spot where alot of people got lucky and lost jewelry in the heat of passion. ha ha. The "I am" pin certainly looks like hippie era like you said in your other post but some of the other items look way older. i am betting this was close to a big gathering landmark that would cause people to be there. Otherwise people were just randomly gathering in the same forest spot for possibly a 40+ year span. I am thinking school or maybe it is just a nice picnic spot? These are the places that make it worth while to hunt. Good job on your research, it just shows that it pays off to invest some time. If you happen to get that watch open i would love to see a pic! i have only found pieces so far. GOOD JOB COBRA!
