Found a good luck charm

[lamarkeiko]

I know this will not be considered a great find for most of you. I live in Southern Oregon now, and I have been a huge SF 49er fan almost all my life (73 years young). Including 9 years of season tickets in the 80's.
While metal detecting near the Rogue River on Jan 14th just before NFL playoffs started, I found this pin with my Equinox 800 about 4"down with Park 1 giving a VID of 17-18.
Once I cleaned the dirt off to see what I found, I was totally surprised, and right away considered this a good luck sign.
I have been keeping it on my coffee table as I watch the 49er games since then.

I think there may be a possibility of finding a site that may show history of the different NFL pins made. The back of the pin is stamped Team NFL with also a small stamp SF1. I might look into that.
