Hit a field close to home today and recovered a few relics, no coins though! The lead cap is a first for me also, headed to the beaches on the panhandle of Florida tomorrow hoping to find some jewelry!

Cool watch Fob, I think it's for
"MARTIN SHOE POLISH"

Great fob. The company that made E-Z-Ola Polishes (not just for shoes, but also stoves etc and furniture) was "Martin & Martin" of Chicago. They apparently ran the E-Z-Ola Club promotion from around 1906.

"Send three two cent stamps and one circle from a 10c. box of E-Z-Ola Shoe Polish" to get "a handsome watch fob complete with leather strap and buckle."
