Hat Badge?
I think one of the buttons is a Hat Badge, it was in a fire. It has what looks like a double headed eagle with 3 zeros below that and at the top it had 1887 but I broke off part of the 1in the 18 but if you look close you can still see it. You can see on the back where I tried but failed to glue the piece back on using supper glue.
I found this not far from the Mormon Trail in San Bernardino County, CA, I think it might be Spanish. It came from the area that this safe key. I use a water and bar soap solution so that the detail can be seen better. As it is its the same size as a quarter. It has writing around the edge but I can't make it out and it has folding tab in the back.
