well yesterday my wife and I hit a ballfield I have got many silver from but yesterday I got silver skunked, only clad for me. I concentrated hard on getting some gold and dug a ton of nickels. She however got a first for her, a nice 2 merc dime silver spill!

Today we found a farmer that had a field not planted yet so you KNOW we had to get out there! She got a nice 1887 indian, and suspender clip.

I found 2 indians, 1890 and 1884 and a pretty cool watch fob, my first one this year. That takes her to 7 indians for the year, and I am at 66 indians for 2012.

Any idea what the decorative piece with the face on it might be??

I found some cool info on the watch fob......
World War I "Victory Liberty Loan" Drive Medal - Made From A Captured German Cannon

The Government always needs more money, and the Great War, or "War to End All Wars," was to be no exception. Liberty loans or bonds were sold by the federal government during World War I (1917-1919) to raise money for the war. These were labeled as 'loans,' because they promised interest to the bearer.
As one advertisement from the period wrote: "The money to be raised by the Victory Liberty loan already has been spent, it. furnished the "'punch'" thatwon the war and saved the lives of 100,000 of America's bravest boys. It is this unshed blood you are paying for
when you subscribe to the Victory Liberty loan."

On March 3, 1919, the "Victory Liberty Loan Act" was signed into law.
The medals were made from German cannons captured by American troops at Chateau Thierry. These cannons were melted, and the metal roiled into sheets, from which the medals are made, and conferred by the Treasury Department on volunteers in the Victory Liberty loan campaign volunteers.
 
That is one cool fob, man I love it. Tokens and fob's are very interesting. That one is way cool!! Congrats

Great job and thanks for the info on the fob Terry. I don't think it is, but the "decorative piece" looks like something in the gable of a coo-coo clock. Awesome finds as usual.
