These finds are from the last few hunts I went on over the last week or so.
Hunted around a old abandoned house and two vacant lots where the houses were torn or burned down years ago.

Indian Cents - 1889 - 1901 - 1906
Nickels - 1944 P Silver War Nickel & 1949 Jefferson Nickel
Wheat Cents - (10) From 1910 to 1957
Miner's Tag - # 12

Watch Fob - Made of Pewter - circa late 1920's or early 1930's.
These Watch Fobs were made to commemorate Admiral Richard E. Byrd's historic flights to the North and South Pole's.
He was the first person to ever fly over the North Pole in 1926 and also the first person to fly over the South Pole in 1929.
The Fob shows a Fokker Trimotor Aircraft - two Penguins and "Wings Over The Pole" on the bottom.
These Fob's originally had a Compass mounted inside them (see non-dug photo) my Compass was missing.

Good Hunting !

What an unusual and interesting Fob! Very collectable surely.

Yes, they are very collectable pieces - a complete (non-dug) Fob like this one - with the Compass sells in the $150.00 range.
