My son took me to one of his hot spots today and the site did not pan out for me, but he did manage a button, a Flying Eagle Cent and TWO Wax Seal fobs. When he found the first one, he called me over to see and he was happy to find his first one after 30 years of detecting. I told him right then, doubt we will find another one on this site, you never get two from one homestead. UH a minute later he called to me saying there was another signal in the same hole! Sure enough it was Wax Seal fob #2. Go figure. Both are squished, since they appear to be a more fragile type than the ones I have found, and one had a stone and one did not.
Anybody recognize the figure on the one? Greek God??

I am waiting to see the cleaned photos of the seal with the stone, since I believe it might be a stone and not glass, only because
it seemed to show two different colorations like a rock has and not most glass.

Hard enough to find one of those (I have never), but two in the same hole is really unusual. In fact, I bet that it has never been done before :thumbsup:
