13-Star Union owl watch fob, KG3, flat button, whatsit's (help), 2 ringer, ring, gold

Have a ton of finds today. I can't believe it all happened in 1-1/2 hours. I need any info on the coolest watch fob I've ever found. The KG3 is the 1806/7 variety.

The rest of the items speak for themselves but the hooked brass thing I'm curious about. Also, the gold pin is awesome. Also, I found what looks like a two ring bullet that was cut or squished.

In the pic with the clover there's another fob. Like to see it closer. First I've ever seen of the owl fob. Pretty cool!
Good hunt for such a short time. Congrats!

Man isn't that thing great?!?! It's right up there with my favorite finds. I really wish I could narrow down a date. I know it's 19th C. and probably later half, but it would be nice to find another example.

Great job of on the fob, and getting a better pic of the beauty Scrappy I was wondering about the first picture posting and why it was being so shy. Had a fob with the 13 stars and the Eagle on it as well found at a gold rush mile house in BC. Anyways it's finds like this one that still in our minds as it more personal than a coin, and certainly different. Congrats.
