Finds from my trip to New York

I just got back from upstate New York where I spent over 2 weeks with my girlfriend and her family. Her dad's house was built in the late teens or early 20s and I hit it hard over the two weeks I was there. The yard didn't produce much in the way of older Wheaties, but I did find this WWI collar disc there.
I detected a lot around the sidewalk that ran around the house. Around it were older Wheaties, including my new oldest coin, a 1912 Wheatie. I also found some from 1913, 14, 17(2), and 1919. The only silver I found at the house was a 1946-D Roosie near the sidewalk.
We also stayed at a camp in the Adirondack Mountains that was built around 1927. I found a 1928 Wheatie and this old pocketknife there. I guess it dates to the 20s or 30s.
The last place I got to detect was at my girlfriend's grandma's house and her great aunt's house. They were both built around 1951. After most of the afternoon in her grandma's yard I had around $1.00, including 6 Wheaties. I then moved to her great aunt's yard where I found 4 quick Wheaties and then nothing. So I moved on to the front yard where I was getting bad signals because of the overhead powerlines. I found a small padlock that says "Camel" on the front. Has anyone heard of this brand? I then got a few feet in front of the sidewalk at the front door and got what was a pretty good signal and out pops this 1938 Walking Liberty Half!
It's my 2nd WLH, but still no silver quarters. All in all I found 28 Wheaties and 2 silver coins along with some cool relics.

Nice collection you have there, SD.

I've only managed to find two Walkers, ever. And your first was an early date, so you have me beat in that category.

Besides the spam, so many folks forward jokes and other stuff that it sometimes gets to be a chore wading through my email.
(Sorry, Mom, but I know you're not reading this so I guess I'm OK.)
