I found this in an old ghost town in South central New Mexico a couple of weeks ago and my fell treasure hunters have been buggin me about putting it on the Treasurenet....so here it is. It is a "Panhandle Stockmans Association 13th Annual Convention, Elpaso, Watch Fob, with a Date of 1912 (over the bulls head). On the back, it says "The key to the city" This town has been hunted hard for some time, 10-15 years and it is still giving up treasures...they are getting harder to find but with a little work they still pop out! This one was about 6 inches down in an area with alot of smashed cans around, but hunting slow and staying focused one can still find good stuff....just dont give up.
Thanks for looking and good luck.

What makes this find really great is that its a little bit of Texas history in the middle of New Mexico - from about the time New Mexico became a state!

Great find!
