Old Watch FOB and Ring

[burlington]

Got out for a few hours yesterday. The first few hours produced a couple of 3-ringers and lots of iron. This site has given up a CW Eagle button and silver fork with the date of 1867 stamped into it. I know there is much to find here, but the day was drawing to a close. My hunting partner was about 15 minutes behind my when I returned to the truck, so I made short loop right near the parking area. Within the first 5 minutes I find the Watch FOB, forty yards latter I found a nice 3-ringer. I looped back to work towards the truck and found the ring. The ring appears to be copper, has decorative detail on the sides and a flat area on the top. It was a great way to wrap up a fun and exciting hunt. Thanks for reading, Happy Hunting!

I was just going to respond also about the fob. It may not be a fob. It has two small holes in it which suggest it might have been attached to something. can't figure out yet what it might have been for?

Congrats Trace Man i'll tell ya you and larry had a great hunt. Thanks for having us down there it is a sweet spot. Can you believe the kind of day I had? I got to witness Larry dig a 1845 Seated liberty in XF condition not even ten feet from me , Fall into A friggin hole up to my you know what break my shaft in half on my new XLT , have to hike back to the truck to pick up my back up Ace 250, which subsequently for some reason worked like POOP, hike back to you guys to watch you both dig up some finds, finally getting frustrated getting lost on the way back to the truck for the third time, and close up the day with you running back to show me a Three ringer, a ring, and a watch fob; just TEN minutes after you passed me on the way back to the truck!!! Did I miss anything?
I am so ready to cream you guys the next time we go out . I'm gonna get in the zone and nothing is going to stop me until I am standing with the best finds of the day; so no sympathy for me buddy you just better be ready
Thanks

I have the same exact rosette. I think it was for a womens hair. I found one at a colonial site a few yrs back.
