Got out this morning for a quick hunt and decided to hit a field next to a colonial house that was torn down years ago. found the eagle 1858 flying cent within 5 minutes of looking. next came the pendant with 2.50 on one side and a eagle with arrows in feet.never saw anything like this before.looks old but no ideal what it means.the large aluminum disk was a big surprise as I thought I had hit a big silver coin,its holed to wear around the neck and I can see a 52 near the bottom of the eagle, this one is another mystery to me. the arrowhead was spotted several feet away and still in nice shape

Very nice treasures.
 
The aluminum coin is a 1952 Austrian five shilling. Cool finds!
 
what ever the pendant is, it looks pretty nice. I'd say a pretty sweet 2 hours:icon_thumleft:
 
Man that pendant is sick! I love it. I hope you find out what it is
 
Congrats on the FE, pendant and other finds
 
yeah that pendant is something special ,it will probably end up like some other items I found, no identification on it which really sucks, maybe military with the eagle on it or even political.
 
That is a nice 2-hour hunt. Are you sure it's a pendant? Maybe a watch fob. Either way, it does have some age to it. Congrats to you Mister.
 
That "pendant" may be an advertising watch fob for a "$2.50" brand watch? I seem to remember seeing it somewhere before........
Nice finds!

That pendant I seen found in Phila, but it was a coin, made of pewter. The Tnet guys IDed it as being a gambling token there were different denominations. 2.50, 5.00
If I remember correctly.
Nice finds, I love detecting in Salem and have found some great stuff there.
