Man, do I like fobs....

[nebstater]

Today, Terry (Icandigit) and I ventured out for a couple of hours before the rain arrived. Went to a small town to hunt one of their parks. We knew that we weren't going to have much time, so we went to do a little "clad" hunting. When we work a park, we always start off by "cleaning" up the new clad, and then go back and really work it for that deep signal silver. Well we only got to hunt for a couple of hours before the rain took us out, but we found over a 100 coins, so that wasn't too bad. My best find for the day, was an old watch fob with the picture on an Indian on the front, and embossed on the back it states AMERICAN ACCIDENT INSURANCE CO. LINCOLN, NEBR. BETTER BE SAFE THAN SORRY. I would have really liked to have seen this piece before it found itself buried for several years. Now that we have this part of the park "cleaned up" a little, can't wait to get back and really work it hard. It was deep, about 8 inches, but gave a real high tone, but it was above even the dollar signal, but since we have had a little rain, the ground was real easy to dig, so I just decided to see what it was. Glad that I did.

My friend found the best of our group... was from a late 19th century fur company from Chicago. He sold it for about $150... was a beauty.

When I first pulled it out of the ground, and saw the likeness of a person on it, I thought that I had found a presidential one. I like this one much better. Oh, and this is only my first one.

I would guess sometime between 1880 to 1910. Just a WAG.

Not quite! I was surprised it did as well as it did. Was probably a rarer one.

My two wouldn't get squat.... one is just a hunting design, and the other with the letters DDC and date 1910. Have never figured it out.

It is, but it's a political one.

The one that's pictured below was carried by a Democrat who was backing Alton Parker for President in 1904.
