locket with treasure inside!

[oddcoins]

I went detecting for a few hours yesterday with a few friends downtown Eugene Oregon. One target I dug was about five inches deep ~ when I lifted out the plug of dirt there sat a 1943-S War Nickel on top of a gold-plated locket. About an hour later I was showing one of my detecting buddies and we noticed that there was something rattling inside the locket. I had to used a knife to pry open the locket ~ inside was a 1939-S Mercury dime! Treasure inside of treasure!! Also, in the same strip of grass I found a quarter sized copper/bronze medallion with an Indian head that reads PONTIAC CHIEF OF THE SIXES, and the other side has a wreath and reads PRODUCT OF GENERAL MOTORS. Anyone know anything about these medallions?

The "CHIEF OF SIXES" is a dealer token there are 2 versions I have seen your version and the one i have. On the front of mine the fethers go straight back, on the reverse it says "PRODUCT OF GENERAL MOTORS" over aq tree.
