The 1853 Seated Liberty is far from perfect, but it's the oldest treasure I've found in my 6 Months of detecting. The other two coins are clad. The medallion appears to be an Elk Lodge medal. I cleaned it a little, and It appears to be from Lodge-906 in Santa Monica Ca. So I'll research this.

That is a nice find. It took me 14 years to find my first seated dime in December of 18 and then I found my second in January 19. Both were found with the Equinox.

Found that Seated Quarter about 4 blocks from my house in Virginia City NV. It was only showing 2 arrows deep, and it literally "Popped" out of the ground with my first dig of dirt, and landed about a foot away from me. I bet that will never happen again..!

I didn't even realize it was a quarter, that is really nice. I've never found one of those.
 
Fastdraw, there's a large number of us metal detecting addicts that have never found a seated coin and we've been detecting for decades, myself included.
That's on my bucket list.
