Unidentified relics

Hi everybody, thank you for your responses and help identifying some of our mystery relics. A little backstory, my son and I have been exploring the mountains of Washington State looking for Pioneer sites. Well last month we came across one that has yielded some incredible artifacts. Like eyeglasses, tools, beautiful bottles, and inkwell and a pen, as well as a fishing reel that may be 150 years old! We have made a series of videos to document the site and share the treasure With anyone who wants to take a look, and possibly help identify some of these pieces. There is no advertising, we have no monetary interest, and we are purely history lovers trying to share the experience. Here is part one and two. If you’d like to take a look.

A few "guesses". I'm pretty sure the relic with the rotatiing handle is the interior from a coffee grinder. I have an intact one that looks just like it. The exterior including the box to hold the grinds were usually of wood so would have rotted or burned away. A lot of wire rimmed glasses from that period and earlier were made of gold. I have two pairs I wear myself and they hold up better than plastic frames. The watch frame looks like it be could be gold and the intact glass could be singed stains. A jeweler may be able to tell your what the metals are. May want to move out a bit from relic area and search. May p/u some coins. Nice site. Paul
