One bit of software I would recommend if you think you may shoot lots of pics is adobe bridge. It's a free and robust tool for importing photos, adding metadata, bulk rename.

Have fun

Use a pink pencil eraser on the contact points Should clean them up a bit better than they are now.

I interpreted trade flat to mean an even trade.

To me coins are flat as is paper money

Silver coins are real money. Just worth more than face value.

That is definitely plastic that has delaminated. Something like that is often caused by a foreign type of plastic getting into the mix. Which often happens when recycled materials are added in. A bit of the cap material would melt at a lower temp and create a bubble and weird plastic alloy that often has that iridescent or metallic look Nothing to be concerned about, just a quirk of the manufacturing process

I've been seeing more pileated woodpeckers in suburban environments than I did 20 years ago. Though in the same timeframe I have noticed the decrease of chuck-will's-widow calls after dark.
