My guess they were pocket pieces. Not too far away I found that 1897 quarter in the same hole as 3 other Washingtons. Pre 1900 stuff is scarce around town because Bend is fairly new. It is a puzzle why there are so many “spills” and not much else. I would expect to find ration cans, tools and other personal items. So far I’ve found just a few cans, a pocket knife, a couple of WW2 D cell batteries, a stripper clip, and a few blank 30-06 cartridges.

By the way, I am enjoying the WS5 headphones, warm ears and no wind noise. Thanks again!
