Default Indian, Numerous Shotshells, Silver Plate, Odd Relics

Howdy All - Found the following in two hunts at some new ground near our favorite 1880 farmhouse:

(25) Shotshells including REM UMC, UMC Co, WRA, Winchester, Western Auto, Western, Unamed and, US Climax Brands
Buckle
Spoon and Misc Silver Plate
Harmonica Pcs
Fountain Pen Top
Clothing Rivets
Indian Head (1888) Our 4th IH and oldest coin to date
Toy Watch Face?
Odd Brass Patent Tag

The Climax US No 12 is our first of this flavor shotshell and the Winchester Blue Rival is our second one.

I don't know what the patent list is all about and the small clock face is a mystery too. Please let me know if you have any ideas on these pieces.

Thanks for the view and read...HHTA. C9

Lots of really interesting items! Love the star rivet, and the patent list is fascinating... Love that the pen has a name... gonna research him? I just found the exact oval object in your second pic - have been wondering what it is... The clock is indeed a mystery... thought it was a fob, but perhaps someone else will have some ideas? Cool hunt!

Great finds! You have a great one there that you might have overlooked. It is the Quickshot. It is a Peters shell and a very early one with a chain design around the primer. It was only around from around 1892-1902.

Congrats on the great variety of finds!

Wow ...... the patent list .... I just love that. The list of 1800's dates are very intriguing. Any item that has a list of that many 1800's dates is to say the least fascinating.
