locket with suprise inside! Updated...2nd photo...Check it out
Looking at the locket dug a few days ago I noticed a second surprise. A second baby pic on the left side.
Two baby pics..
I had a couple of hours today to get out for a while and get some beeping in. I drove to what I thought was going to be an older cellar hole from the 1800's. It had obviously never been hunted before with buried broken brass, and misc. trash strewn about. I only had a little time so I got right to it digging the good sounding solid tones. I received a solid report through my Grey Ghost NDT's that provoked me to cut my plug in the thick forest floor. I folded the plug over, and a locket fell from the bottom side. After digging a few more tones, I turned the Etrac off removed my phones, and wiped some of the pouring sweat coming off my face on the already drenched t-shirt I was wearing and high tailed it back to the ponderosa to have dinner. After chow, I proceeded to gently clean the red clay type soil that was present on the locket off and dab dried it. I assumed it was like the other hundred I have dug in the past that were empty inside. I gently opened the locket, and to my surprise, 2 little eye balls were looking back at me.
Someones baby pic inside the locket. Pretty cool. If you look on left side of the locket, there is writing. It reads: J.M.R.&CO. I was hoping for initials. I'll have to do some research to see who lived on the property to locate the relatives to donate it to.
The copper disk nest to the locket's obverse side reads: I.C.M.A
Obverse Edges read: Owners name inside
Reverse is blank.
I am thinking airline or baggage tag

Neat find for sure, and your story had me sweating right there with you.
