    Now I'm going to have nightmares about Chigg getting his
    foot stuck and having to chop it off with a rusted file before
    the tide comes in.

    So, I did some e-digging, and those grates and buttons are a type of battery plate. Here's a small list of what I've collected:
    1. That plate design is called the "Manchester Positive". It is the positive electrode in this style of battery.
    2. The grid is a lead antimony alloy, and the "buttons" are rolls of pure lead. The rolls form a build-up of lead-peroxide. The grate does not, because the antimony protects the it. This keeps the grate from deteriorating.
    3. The positive and negative plates were separated with wood inserts. At one point, these battery cells were housed in open glass jars.
    4. They were used for various things, including cars.
    One source of several I found is a book from 1923, by Charles W. T. Stuart, called "Car Lighting by Electricity".
    It's on Google Books for free if you want to look, and there are several other good reads on the topic as well.

    The large lead plate and the other large lead objects are from big lead acid storage batteries. I recognize them as I worked in the battery recycling business for 15 years and have seen them often also It's kind of a mystery as to why all those battery parts would be down in that crevice. There was a crank from a hit and miss engine and a couple of engine flywheels near there also.

      Bryan, “The United States' official gold bullion coin, the Gold American Eagle, was first released in 1986. Today, it comes in tenth-ounce, quarter-ounce, half-ounce, and one-ounce forms. The one-ounce is the most valuable, carrying a nominal face value of $50 and comprising 91.67 percent fine gold.” Some gold coins can come into about $1,000 to $20. Those are not my words and I don’t know this for a fact. Just do some research to be sure. If you google, “ *where you are from* gold coin worth.” Something should pop up. Just make sure that I don’t know of this stuff. I DON’T KNOW THIS STUFF FOR A FACT USE GOOGLE IF YOU HAVE TO.

    A two foot pry bar to move the wedged in rocks, a sponge to suck up the water so you can see what's hiding in the small puddles and needle nose pliers. There are needle nose pliers that are about a foot long. Wrap masking tape around each jaw so you won't scratch a coin.

      The pliars on the multi tool would have done the trick.
